1:  10  and  to wait for his Son  from heaven,  whom he raised from the dead, Jesus  who delivers us from  the wrath to come. We are waiting for Salvation…deliverance - because we know this world is under judgment (1John 5:19) Ch.2 13  And we also thank God constantly [ d ]  for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men [ e ]  but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.   The Word works (Hebrews 4:12; Isaiah 55:10-11) 14  For you, brothers,  became imitators of  the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea.
