1 Thessalonians Chapter 3 (KJV)
undefined
Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
undefined
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
undefined
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
undefined
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
undefined
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
undefined
But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
undefined
Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
undefined
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
undefined
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
undefined
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
undefined
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
undefined
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
undefined
To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
