English Standard Version

Paul writes:

We know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5

Paul writes about the righteousness based on faith:

What does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim).

Romans 10:8

1 Thessalonians 1 (English Standard Version)

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace.
2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,
3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,
5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.

Romans 10 (English Standard Version)

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 or “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Paul wrote:

We already know that you are loved by God and are very special to him. The good news we brought to you wasn't just words, but had power too, for the Holy Spirit completely convinced you.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5

What Scripture actually says is: “The message is very close to you — it's what you talk about and what's in your mind.” In fact it's this message based on trust that we're presenting.

Romans 10:8

1 Thessalonians 1 (Free Bible Version)

1 This letter comes from Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May you have grace and peace!
2 We are always thanking God for all of you, never forgetting you in our prayers.
3 We remember you before our God and Father—how you put your trust in him into practice, how you work hard in love, and how you patiently wait in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Brothers and sisters, we already know that you are loved by God and are very special to him.
5 The good news we brought to you wasn't just words, but had power too, for the Holy Spirit completely convinced you. In the same way you know what kind of men we are since we demonstrated to you that we were working for your benefit.
6 You were imitating us and the Lord when you received the message, for despite your troubles you experienced the joy the Holy Spirit gives.
7 So you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Greece!
8 You have broadcast the Lord's message, not only in Macedonia and Greece, but everywhere people have heard of your trust in God—so there's no need for us to tell anybody about it!

Romans 10 (Free Bible Version)

5 Moses wrote, “Whoever does what is right by obeying the law will live.”
6 But the attitude of doing right that comes from trust says this: “Don't ask ‘who'll go to heaven?’ (asking to bring Christ down),”
7 or “‘who'll go to the place of the dead?’ (asking to bring Christ back from the dead).”
8 What Scripture actually says is: “The message is very close to you—it's what you talk about and what's in your mind.” In fact it's this message based on trust that we're presenting.
9 For if you declare that you accept Jesus as Lord, and you are convinced in your mind that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.
10 Your trust in God makes you right and good, and your declaration of accepting God saves you.
11 As Scripture says, “Those who trust in him will not be disappointed.”
