1 Thessalonians 3:5-8

5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.

6But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you—

7for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.

8For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.
