What did the Thessalonians do after they were converted out of paganism?
They immediately became witnesses. After their conversion out of paganism, they shared it wherever they went. Their faith toward God spread abroad in every place, so Paul and his companions needed to speak nothing; those converts could not be silenced.
Les explains that the Thessalonians were just as pagan as anyone else before their conversion. Once Paul saw them converted out of paganism, they shared the message wherever they went, and their mouths could not be shut. Their faith to God was spread abroad in every place, so Paul and his companions needed not to speak anything. This was what Paul experienced everywhere he went because he preached Christ crucified, buried, and risen from the dead. That is the power of the Gospel, and God in His own way brings people to a knowledge of the truth.
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
