 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2 Peter 1:10,19)
what.
1 Thess. 2:1‑11• 1For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
 2But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
 3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
 4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
 5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
 6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
 7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
 8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
 9For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
 10Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
 11As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, (1 Thess. 2:1‑11)
;
Acts 20:18‑19,33‑35• 18And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
 19Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
 33I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
 34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
 35I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:18‑19,33‑35)
;
1 Cor. 2:2‑5• 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Cor. 2:2‑5)
;
1 Cor. 4:9‑13• 9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
 10We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised.
 11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
 12And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
 13Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. (1 Cor. 4:9‑13)
;
1 Cor. 10:33• 33Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor. 10:33)
;
2 Cor. 4:1‑2• 1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
 2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (2 Cor. 4:1‑2)
;
2 Cor. 6:3‑10• 3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
 4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
 5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
 6By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
 7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
 8By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
 9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
 10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. (2 Cor. 6:3‑10)
;
Phil. 4:9• 9Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. (Phil. 4:9)
;
2 Thess. 3:7‑9• 7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
 8Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
 9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. (2 Thess. 3:7‑9)
;
1 Tim. 4:12‑16• 12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
 13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
 14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
 15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
 16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. (1 Tim. 4:12‑16)
;
1 Peter 5:3• 3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (1 Peter 5:3)
for.
1 Cor. 9:19‑23• 19For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
 20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
 21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
 22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
 23And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. (1 Cor. 9:19‑23)
;
2 Tim. 2:10• 10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Tim. 2:10)
• The Word had power in their heart—came to it as the Word of God; the Spirit Himself revealed Himself in it, giving the consciousness of His presence; and the consequence of this was the full assurance of the truth in all its power, in all its reality. (“1 Thessalonians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• The glad tidings as preached by Paul and those with him, "our gospel," is the full testimony of what is in Christ for the lost. (“On 1 Thessalonians 1” by W. Kelly)
