1 Thessalonians 2:9
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.”
εὐαγγέλιον
Good news, gospel, glad tidings. Euaggelion. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation. Not just a message about power. The message itself is power when received in faith.

To proclaim, to preach, to herald. Kerusso. Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel. The Gospel is news to be announced not advice to be offered. Announce it boldly.
