1 THESSALONIANS 1:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.”
For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you, but your fame has gone forth everywhere — the gospel is heard not merely in proclamation but in the living witness of transformed lives. The word 'sounded forth' (execheomai) carries resonance; their testimony echoes throughout the Christian world. What began as receiving the word now becomes distribution, multiplication.
