[Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians is considered to be one of Paul's earliest letters, and yet rich in the great doctrines of the faith, namely: Election, the Holy Spirit, Assurance, the Trinity, Conversion, the second advent of Christ, the believer's walk, Sanctification, the Day of the Lord (Jehovah), the Resurrection, the tripartite nature of man.] ~Scofield Notes
1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

GO AND SIN NO MORE
John 8:3-11
3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught
in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery,
in the very act.
5 Now Moses, in our law, commands us that such should be stoned.
But what do You say?”
6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of
which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His
finger, as though He did not hear.
7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and
said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her
first.”
8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,
went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was
left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the
woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one
condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her....

FREE INDEED
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” John 8:36.
What a beautiful dialogue Jesus has with scribes and Pharisees here in John chapter 8. They are often referred to as "the Jews", almost derogatorily.
You are free…sin no more!
The chapter begins with “the Jews” (scribes and Pharisees) bringing a woman to Jesus who had been caught in the very act of adultery. It was a set-up. The scribes and Pharisees probably already knew this woman and what she “did”. It is not good for me to speculate but, do we think this is the first time an occasion with this woman came up? They conveniently “caught” this woman in an act of adultery and confronted Jesus to trap him. The Law of Moses, of course, commanded that she should be stoned. They said to Jesus… “What do You say?”.
