 Here they stayed consistent. They stayed faithful in their challenges. We see as we read this verse, Paul literally was bragging about this church to other churches. He's there, of course, in Corinth. And we see it actually when he comes back and even writes 2 Corinthians. Again, bragging on the churches of Macedonia. That's like it was a capital of Macedonia. He would be bragging on them because he thought of how they handled the persecution, how they handled the difficulty and the tribulation.
