1 Thessalonians 3

1Wherefore when we could noG3371 longerG3371 forbear, we thought it good to be leftG2641 behind at AthensG116 aloneG3441; 2and sentG3992 TimothyG5095, our brotherG80 and God’s ministerG1249 in the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, to establish you, and to comfortG3870 you concerningG5228 your faithG4102; 3that no manG3778 be moved by these afflictionsG2347; for yourselves know that hereunto we are appointed. 4For verily, whenG3753 we wereG1510 with you, we told you beforehand that we areG1510 to suffer affliction; evenG2532 as it cameG1096 to passG1096, and ye know. 5For this cause I alsoG2532, when I could no longerG3371 forbear, sentG3992 that I might knowG1097 your faithG4102, lestG3361 by any means the tempter had temptedG3985 you, and our laborG2873 should be in vainG2756. 6But when TimothyG5095 cameG2064 evenG2532 nowG1161 unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faithG4102 and loveG26, and that ye have goodG18 remembranceG3417 of us alwaysG3842, longingG1971 to seeG3708 us, evenG2532 as we alsoG2532 to seeG3708 you; 7for this cause, brethren, we were comfortedG3870 over you in all our distressG318 and afflictionG2347 through your faithG4102: 8for nowG3568 we liveG2198, if ye standG4739 fast in the LordG2962. 9For what thanksgivingG2169 can we render again unto GodG2316 for you, for all the joyG5479 wherewith we joyG5479 for your sakesG1223 before our GodG2316; 10nightG3571 and dayG2250 prayingG1189 exceedingly that we may seeG3708 your faceG4383, and may perfect that which is lackingG5303 in your faithG4102?

11NowG1161 may our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 himself, and our LordG2962 JesusG2424, directG2720 our wayG3598 unto you: 12and the LordG2962 make you to increase and aboundG4052 in loveG26 oneG240 toward another, and toward all men, evenG2532 as we alsoG2532 do toward you; 13to the end he may establish your heartsG2588 unblamable in holinessG42 before our GodG2316 and FatherG3962, at the coming of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 with all his saintsG40.
