9 For they themselves show of you what manner entering in we had unto you, and how ⟨p. 28⟩you turned from idols to God, to serve the living and true God.
9 For they themselues shewe of you what maner entring in wee had vnto you, and howe ⟨p. 28⟩you turned from idols to God, to serue the liuing and true God.
10 And to look for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus which delivereth us from the wrath to come.
10 And to looke for his sonne from heauen, whome hee raised from the dead, Iesus whiche deliuereth vs from the wrath to come.
The countries round about them were drawn by the example of the Thessalonians, to believe the Gospel preached unto them. You are (saith he) as the bright sun beams. They behold you, and rejoice of you, even as of the morning light. You are an holy City set upon an hill, you cannot be hid, your saith is a pattern of saith, your life is a pattern of life unto them. They have learned of you how to guide their ways. You have called them back from error, and from ungodi• nesse, to serve the true and living God. You are made unto them a sweet smelling savour of life unto life. For so it hath pleased God to make his Gospel known in all places through you, & to make you the builders of his church. When they behold your godly conversation which is in Christ, they are ashamed of themselves. When they behold your light, they find fault with their own darkness. O say they, this is a holy people, this is a people that feareth God. Let us hear them what they teach: let us lead our lives in holiness and righteousness
