You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
"There is an idea prevalent in some modern circles that we should work to establish the kingdom of God on earth. That is a noble ideal, but it is not the Biblical idea of the kingdom. In the Scriptures it is clear that God and no other establishes the kingdom." [Note: Morris, The First . . ., p. 85.]
