1 Thessalonians 2:2

2 You know what happened to us before we came to you. The people at Philippi had done bad things to us. They had caused us to have trouble. When we came to you, our God helped us to be brave. We were not afraid to tell you his good news. Many people tried to stop us, but we told you God's message.

2:2Philippi was another city in Macedonia. It was about 115 kilometres east of Thessalonica. Paul and his friends had been at Philippi before they came to Thessalonica. Some people at Philippi had hurt Paul and Silas very much. Then they had put Paul and Silas in prison. See Acts 16:12-40.
