1 Thessalonians 3

1Wherefore, being noG3371 longerG3371 able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be leftG2641 aloneG3441 in AthensG116, 2and sentG3992 Timotheus, our brotherG80 and fellow-workman under 1GodG2316 in the glad tidings of ChristG5547, to confirm you and encourageG3870 [you] concerningG5228 your faithG4102, 3that no oneG3367 might be moved by these afflictionsG2347. (For yourselves know that we are setG2749 for this; 4for alsoG2532, whenG3753 we wereG1510 with you, we told you beforehand we areG1510 about to beG1510 in tribulation, evenG2532 as alsoG2532 it cameG1096 to passG1096, and ye know.) 5For this reason I alsoG2532, no longerG3371 able to refrain myself, sentG3992 to knowG1097 your faithG4102, lestG3361 perhaps the tempter had temptedG3985 you and our labour should be comeG1096 to nothing. 6But Timotheus having justG2509 comeG2064 to us from you, and brought to us the glad tidings of your faithG4102 and loveG26, and that ye have alwaysG3842 goodG18 remembranceG3417 of us, desiring much to seeG3708 us, evenG2532 as we alsoG2532 you; 7for this reason we have been comfortedG3870 in you, brethren, in all our distressG318 and tribulationG2347, through your faithG4102, 8because nowG3568 we liveG2198 if ye standG4739 firmG4739 in [the] LordG2962. 9For what thanksgivingG2169 can we render to 2GodG2316 for you, for all the joyG5479 wherewith we rejoiceG5463 on accountG1223 of you before our 3GodG2316, 10nightG3571 and dayG2250 beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may seeG3708 your faceG4383, and perfect what is lackingG5303 in your faithG4102? 11But our 4GodG2316 and FatherG3962 himself, and our LordG2962 JesusG2424, directG2720 our wayG3598 to you. 12But you, may the LordG2962 make to exceed and aboundG4052 in loveG26 toward oneG240 another, and toward all, evenG2532 as we alsoG2532 towards you, 13in order to the confirming of your heartsG2588 unblamable in holinessG42 before our 5GodG2316 and FatherG3962 at the coming of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 with all his saintsG40.
