For even in Thessalonica you sent something for my need more than once.
For you recall, brothers and sisters, our labor and hardship—working night and day, so as not to burden any of you while we proclaimed to you the Good News of God.
After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—but satan thwarted us.
And let our people learn to devote themselves to doing mitzvot to meet urgent needs, so they will not be unfruitful.
