And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

7 Na matokeo gake, mupangilwe mpwano kwa bote katika Makedonia na Akaiya ambao baaminiya.

So that ye were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;

10 Batitoa habari kuwa mwatimlenda Mwana wakeboka kumaund, ywatifufuliwa boka kwa bandu ba kiwo. Ayee nga Yesu, ywatubekite huru boka mu, ghadhabu yaiisa.

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.
