First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world. Romans 1:8

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
