8For from you sounded out
the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is
spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.  9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto
you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;  10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised
from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1
Thessalonians 1:8-10, King James
Version)
