| 6 You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit, | 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. | 6 You imitated us and the Lord. In spite of a lot of suffering, you welcomed God's word with the kind of joy that the Holy Spirit gives. | 6 You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, | 6 and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit, | 7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. | 7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. | 7 This way, you became a model for all the believers in the province of Macedonia and Greece. | 7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. | 7 so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia: | 8 For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything. | 8 For 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. | 8 From you the Lord's word has spread out not only through the province of Macedonia and Greece but also to people everywhere who have heard about your faith in God. We don't need to say a thing about it. | 8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we need not to say anything. | 8 for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything; | 9 For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, | 9 For 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; | 9 They talk about how you welcomed us when we arrived. They even report how you turned away from false gods to serve the real, living God | 9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God, | 9 for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, | 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. | 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. | 10 and to wait for his Son to come from heaven. His Son is Jesus, whom he brought back to life. Jesus is the one who rescues us from [God's] coming anger. | 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. | 10 and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath. |
