Första Tessalonikerbrevet 2:2

Tidigare hade vi, som ni vet, lidit och blivit misshandlade i Filippi . Men genom vår Gud fick vi mod att predika Guds evangelium för er trots hård kamp.

But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
