2 | 1 Thessalonians: The manner and the message | 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 | 19/04/2026

In 1 Thessalonians 2:1–16, Paul reminds the Thessalonians that his ministry among them was marked by sincerity, courage, and a desire to please God rather than people, even in the face of suffering and opposition. He urges them to recognise the gospel as God’s word at work in them, and to persevere faithfully despite the hostility that often accompanies it.
