10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children —
12encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
— 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
