1 Thessalonians 3:3-13

3so that noG3367 oneG3367 would be 1disturbedG4525 by theseG3778 afflictionsG2347. For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 that 2we have been destinedG2749 for thisG3778. 4For evenG2532 whenG3753 we were with you, we kept tellingG4302 you inG4302 advanceG4302 that we wereG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 sufferG2346 afflictionG2346; 34and soG2531 it happenedG1096, 5as you knowG3609. 5For thisG3778 reasonG1223, 6when I could noG3371 longerG3371 endureG4722 it, I alsoG2532 7sentG3992 to 8findG1097 outG1097 about your faithG4102, for fearG3381 that 9the tempterG3985 might have temptedG3985 you, and 10our laborG2873 would be for nothingG2756.

6But nowG737 that 11TimothyG5095 has comeG2064 to us from you, and has broughtG2097 us goodG2097 newsG2097 of 12your faithG4102 and loveG26, and that you alwaysG3842 13thinkG2192G3417 kindlyG18 of us, longingG1971 to seeG3708 us justG2509 asG2509 we alsoG2532 long to see you, 7for thisG3778 reasonG1223, brothersG80 and sisters, in allG3956 our distressG318 and afflictionG2347 we were comfortedG3870 aboutG1909 you throughG1223 your faithG4102; 8for nowG3568 we really liveG2198, ifG1437 you 14standG4739 firmG4739 in the LordG2962. 9For 15whatG5101 thanksG2169 canG1410 we giveG467 to GodG2316 for you in returnG467 for allG3956 the joyG5479 with whichG3739 we rejoiceG5463 becauseG1223 of you beforeG1715 our GodG2316, 10as we 16keep prayingG1189 mostG5238 earnestlyG5238 nightG3571 and dayG2250 that we may 17seeG3708 your facesG4383, and may 18completeG2675 whatG5303 isG5303 lackingG5303 in your faithG4102?

1119NowG1161 may 20our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 21HimselfG846, and our LordG2962 JesusG2424, 22directG2720 our wayG3598 to you; 12and may the LordG2962 causeG4121G4052 you toG4121 increaseG4121 and 23overflowG4052 in loveG26 for oneG240 anotherG240, and for allG3956 peopleG3956, justG2509 asG2509 we alsoG2532 do for you; 13soG1519 thatG1519 He may 24establishG4741 your heartsG2588 25blamelessG273 in holinessG42 beforeG1715 26our GodG2316 and FatherG3962 at the 2728comingG3952 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 29with allG3956 His 30saintsG40.
