So we do not need to say anything about it. ⁹ ·People everywhere [^LFor they themselves] are ·telling [reporting; announcing] about the way you ·accepted [welcomed] us when we were there with you. They tell how you ·stopped worshiping idols [^Lturned to God from idols] to serve the living and true God, ¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom God raised from the dead. He is Jesus, who ·saves [rescues; delivers] us from ·God’s angry judgment that is sure to come [^Lthe coming wrath].
