Some of them believed. Of the Jews who heard in the synagogue.
Also,
of the devout Greeks a great multitude. These were religious
Gentiles who had departed from heathenism, attended the synagogue, but
had not been circumcised. See PNT "Ac 10:2".
Of the chief women. Some of them, no doubt, the wives of the
"devout Greeks". Some of the converts made during Paul's stay were
idolaters (1 Thessalonians 1:9). The result of these labors was the
establishment of a flourishing church, the existence of which called
out the two letters to the Thessalonians.
