“You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.”
1 Thessalonians 2:1 (BSB)
Context Reading
1You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain. 2As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God. 3For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
