The Bible's Exposure of Idolatry
Earl of Chichester. 1 Thessalonians 1:7-10 So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.… I was told by that distinguished missionary, John Williams, that he found the simple reading of Isaiah 44 more effectual in convincing the natives of the folly and sin of idolatry than any of his own teaching. Ver. 17, "And the residue thereof he maketh a god," were the words which at once laid hold of their understanding and their conscience. (Earl of Chichester.) Parallel Verses KJV: So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. WEB: so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
