1 Thessalonians 3:4-8

4For indeedG2532 whenG3753 we were with you, we kept tellingG4302 you in advanceG4302 that we were goingG3195 to sufferG2346 afflictionG2346; 12and soG2531 it cameG1096 to passG1096, 3as you knowG3609. 5For thisG3778 reasonG1223, 4when I could endureG4722 it noG3371 longerG3371, I alsoG2532 5sentG3992 to 6findG1097 out about your faithG4102, for fearG3381 that 7the tempterG3985 might have temptedG3985 you, and 8our laborG2873 would be in vainG2756.

6But nowG737 that 9TimothyG5095 has comeG2064 to us from you, and has broughtG2097 us goodG2097 newsG2097 of 10your faithG4102 and loveG26, and that you alwaysG3842 11thinkG2192G3417 kindlyG18 of us, longingG1971 to seeG3708 us justG2509 as we alsoG2532 long to see you, 7for thisG3778 reasonG1223, brethrenG80, in allG3956 our distressG318 and afflictionG2347 we were comfortedG3870 aboutG1909 you throughG1223 your faithG4102; 8for nowG3568 we really liveG2198, ifG1437 you 12standG4739 firmG4739 in the LordG2962.
