Followers of the Lord understood how the Corban of the Pharisees made the word of God to none effect because it was in institution of legal charity dependent upon forced contributions rather than freewill offerings.
Early Christians had turned to God from idols of the temples of Caesar as well to serve the living and true God through the practices of Pure Religion rather than the covetous practices of the welfare state of Rome and its public religion.
In order to do that the people had organized themselves in a Network of intimate congregations of Tens as Christ Commanded binding themselves together with the social bonds of a free society according to the perfect law of liberty.

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.

Your work of faith

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 labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Having received the word

6 ¶ And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 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.

Turned from idols

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols^[1] to serve the living and true God;

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
