When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica,

then traveled through the towns of Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to
Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was Paul’s

He said, “This Jesus I’m telling you about is the Messiah.”

it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. |

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest
two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.
It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. |
