9. For you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship, for labouring night and day, in order not to burden any of you, we proclaimed to you the Good News of Elohim.
10. You are witnesses, Elohim also, how set-apart and righteously and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe,
11. even as you know how each one of you, as a father to his children, encouraging and comforting and bearing witness to you,
12. that you would walk worthily of Elohim who is calling you into His own reign and esteem.
13. And because of this we thank Elohim without ceasing, that when you received the Word of Elohim which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is truly, the Word of Elohim, which also works in you who believe.
