1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
New International Version
We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your
endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Gordon Preece
In the divine economy, work is evaluated according to the way it fosters or retards relationships — between ourselves and God, our companions and the earthly resources we are called to develop.
