1 Thessalonians 2:13

And we also thank God continually for this, that when you received the word of God [concerning salvation] which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its inherent, supernatural power in those of faith].

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

And now we look back on all this and thank God, an artesian well of thanks! When you got the Message of God we preached, you didn’t pass it off as just one more human opinion, but you took it to heart as God’s true word to you, which it is, God himself at work in you believers! 14-16 Friends, do you realize that you followed in the exact footsteps of the churches of God in Judea, those who were the first to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ? You got the same bad treatment from your countrymen as they did from theirs, the Jews who killed the Master Jesus (to say nothing of the prophets) and followed it up by running us out of town. They make themselves offensive to God and everyone else by trying to keep us from telling people who’ve never heard of our God how to be saved. They’ve made a career of opposing God, and have gotten mighty good at it. But God is fed up, ready to put an end to it. 17-20 Do you have any idea how very homesick we became for you, dear friends? Even though it hadn’t been that long and it was only our bodies that were separated from you, not our hearts, we tried our very best to get back to see you. You can’t imagine how much we missed you! I, Paul, tried over and over to get back, but Satan stymied us each time. Who do you think we’re going to be proud of when our Master Jesus appears if it’s not you? You’re our pride and joy!

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

Nunca cesaremos de dar gracias a Dios porque, cuando recibisteis la palabra de Dios que nosotros os anunciamos, no pensasteis que nuestro mensaje fuera algo puramente humano, sino que lo aceptasteis como lo que verdaderamente es: la palabra de Dios activa en vosotros que sois creyentes.

We never stop thanking God for the way you received his word. You heard it from us. But you didn’t accept it as a human word. You accepted it for what it really is. It is God’s word. It is really at work in you who believe.

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

Esiane mo bɔne nti, bere bi a atwam no, na moyɛ honhom mu awufo na afei ɛma moyɛɛ Amanamanmufo a munni Mmara. Nanso afei Onyankopɔn agye mo nkwa de mo abata Kristo ho. Onyankopɔn de yɛn nyinaa bɔne akyɛ yɛn.

وَلِذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَرْفَعُ الشُّكْرَ لِلهِ بِلا تَوَقُّفٍ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمَّا تَلَقَّيْتُمْ مِنَّا كَلِمَةَ الْبِشَارَةِ مِنَ اللهِ، قَبِلْتُمُوهَا لَا كَأَنَّهَا كَلِمَةُ بَشَرٍ، بَلْ كَمَا هِيَ فِي الْحَقِيقَةِ: بِاعْتِبَارِهَا كَلِمَةَ اللهِ الْعَامِلَةَ أَيْضاً فِيكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

Kanunay kaming nagapasalamat sa Dios tungod kay sa dihang gidawat ninyo ang pulong sa Dios nga among giwali kaninyo, gidawat ninyo kini dili ingon nga iya sa tawo kondili ingon nga iya gayod sa Dios, ug kini nga pulong padayon nga nagalihok diha kaninyo nga nagatuo.

Když jsme vám přinesli Boží poselství, přijali jste ho ne jako lidské slovo, ale jako slovo Boží, jak bylo i na místě. Zato znovu a znovu Bohu děkujeme. Vždyť i vaše životy byly tím slovem proměněny,

Vi er virkelig taknemmelige til Gud over, at I tog imod vores budskab, ikke som menneskeord, men som Guds ord. Og det er jo netop det, det er! Det er også derfor, det gør sin gerning i jer, som tror.

Immer wieder danken wir Gott dafür, dass ihr seine Botschaft, die ihr von uns gehört habt, nicht als Menschenwort betrachtet habt; ihr habt sie als das aufgenommen, was sie ja tatsächlich ist, als Gottes Wort. Und nun entfaltet dieses Wort seine Kraft in eurem Leben, weil ihr ihm Glauben geschenkt habt.

Así que no dejamos de dar gracias a Dios, porque al oír vosotros la palabra de Dios que os predicamos, la aceptasteis no como palabra humana, sino como lo que realmente es, palabra de Dios, la cual actúa en vosotros los creyentes.

Así que no dejamos de dar gracias a Dios, porque al oír ustedes la palabra de Dios que les predicamos, la aceptaron no como palabra humana, sino como lo que realmente es, palabra de Dios, la cual actúa en ustedes los creyentes.

Et voici pourquoi nous remercions Dieu sans nous lasser : en recevant la Parole de Dieu que nous vous avons annoncée, vous ne l’avez pas accueillie comme une parole purement humaine, mais comme ce qu’elle est réellement, c’est-à-dire la Parole de Dieu, qui agit avec efficacité en vous qui croyez.

אנו ממשיכים להודות לאלוהים על שלא התייחסתם לבשורה שהבאנו לכם כאילו המצאנו אותה בעצמנו, אלא האמנתם שאלה הם באמת דברי אלוהים חיים, ועל כן הם שינו את חייכם.

Permi kami nagapasalamat sa Dios tungod kay sang pagbaton ninyo sang pulong sang Dios nga amon ginwali sa inyo, ginbaton ninyo ini indi bilang pulong sang tawo kundi pulong sang Dios nga nagapanghikot sa inyo nga nagatuo.

Zato bez prestanka zahvaljujemo Bogu što Božju poruku koju smo vam navijestili niste primili kao ljudsku, nego kao Božju riječ, što ona uistinu i jest. A ona djeluje u vama koji vjerujete.

E mai ci stancheremo di ringraziare il Signore perché, quando noi vi abbiamo annunziato il Vangelo, voi non avete neppure pensato che si trattasse di parole nostre, ma lo avete accettato per ciò che realmente è: Parola di Dio, che è allʼopera in voi che credete.

그리고 또 한 가지 우리가 하나님께 늘 감사하는 것은 여러분이 우리가 전한 말을 받을 때 사람의 말로 받아들이지 않고 하나님의 말씀으로 받아들인 점입니다. 그 말씀은 믿는 여러분 속에서 지금 역사하고 있습니다.

Derfor takker vi ofte Gud for at dere ikke bare tok imot budskapet som om det var noe fra oss selv, men som et budskap fra Gud. Det er virkelig et budskap fra Gud, og det fortsetter å påvirke alle som tror.

Hiervoor zullen wij God altijd blijven danken: toen u van ons het woord van God hoorde, was dat voor u geen nieuws van mensen, maar van God. U hebt het aangenomen voor wat het was: een boodschap van God. En die boodschap heeft een geweldige invloed op u die erin gelooft.

Dlatego nieustannie dziękujemy Bogu za to, że nasze przesłanie przyjęliście nie jako zwykłą informację, ale jako prawdziwe słowa Boga, które teraz działają w waszym życiu.

Também agradecemos a Deus sem cessar o fato de que, ao receberem de nossa parte a palavra de Deus, vocês a aceitaram, não como palavra de homens, mas conforme ela verdadeiramente é, como palavra de Deus, que atua com eficácia em vocês, os que crêem.

Por isso, não deixamos de dar a Deus o nosso agradecimento pelo facto de terem recebido a mensagem de Deus, que vos pregámos, não como teorias humanas, mas como a palavra de Deus, que realmente é, e que age profundamente na vossa vida como crentes.

Diospaj Shimita cancunaman ñucanchij huillajpica, mana runacuna quiquin yuyaimanta huillashca shinallata uyarcanguichijchu. Diospaj Shimitaj cashcata ricushpami, alli uyashpa crircanguichij. Chashna crishcamantami Taita Diostaca, mana samashpa pagui nicunchijlla. Taita Diospaj Shimi cashpatajmari, can crijcunataca mushujyachijpi, alli causacunguichij.

Noi, de asemenea, Îi mulţumim lui Dumnezeu neîncetat pentru că, atunci când aţi primit Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, pe care l-aţi auzit de la noi, l-aţi primit nu ca pe un cuvânt al oamenilor, ci, aşa cum şi este de fapt, ca pe Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, care lucrează în voi, cei ce credeţi.

Мы всегда благодарим Всевышнего и за то, что, когда вы приняли Его слово, услышанное от нас, вы приняли его не как человеческую выдумку, а таким, каково оно и есть, – как слово Всевышнего, мощно действующее в вас, верящих.

Preto znovu a znovu musíme Bohu ďakovať, že ste od nás prijali slovo Božej zvesti nie ako slovo ľudské, ale ako slovo Božie, že ste mu uverili a že premenilo aj vaše životy.

Därför tackar vi ständigt Gud för att ni tog emot Guds budskap som vi förkunnade, inte som mänskliga ord utan som ett budskap från Gud, vilket det ju verkligen är, och som verkar i er som tror.

Nasi tunamshukuru Mungu bila kukoma pia kwa sababu mlipo lipokea neno la Mungu mlilosikia kutoka kwetu, hamkulipokea kama neno la wanadamu. Bali mlilipokea kama lilivyo hasa, yaani, neno la Mungu, ambalo linafanya kazi ndani yenu ninyi mnaoamini.

และเราขอบพระคุณพระเจ้าอยู่เสมอเพราะเมื่อท่านรับพระวจนะของพระเจ้าซึ่งได้ยินจากเรา ท่านไม่ได้รับไว้อย่างถ้อยคำของมนุษย์ แต่รับไว้ตามที่เป็นจริงคือ เป็นพระวจนะของพระเจ้าซึ่งกำลังทำกิจอยู่ภายในท่านทั้งหลายที่เชื่อ
