1 Thessalonians 2:13

Next

¶ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

For this {G5124} cause {G1223} also {G2532} thank {G2168} we {G2249} God {G2316} without ceasing {G89}, because {G3754}, when ye received {G3880} the word {G3056} of God {G2316} which ye heard {G189} of {G3844} us {G2257}, ye received {G1209} it not {G3756} as the word {G3056} of men {G444}, but {G235} as {G2531} it is {G2076} in truth {G230}, the word {G3056} of God {G2316}, which {G3739} effectually worketh {G1754} also {G2532} in {G1722} you {G5213} that believe {G4100}.

Another reason we regularly thank God is that when you heard the Word of God from us, you received it not merely as a human word, but as it truly is, God’s Word, which is at work in you believers.

And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.

And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
