Lesson 4 | Links in a chain: connecting the parts

Assignment: Words that connect ideas


Divide 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5a into units of thought, discern the connections, and write a paraphrase.

  1. Divide 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5a into individual statements.
  2. Highlight the connector words in bold.
  3. Add a MINE column and write a paraphrase. Be sure to add a clear connection in bold for each statement. (Note that some of the connections are only implied. Try to find words for your paraphrase that will make these connections explicit.)
