1 Thessalonians 3:5
Compare all
3 athat no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that bwe are appointed to this.  
4 aFor, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.  
5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, alest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and bour labor might be in vain.  

Encouraged by Timothy

6 aBut now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, bas we also to see you—  
7 therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress awe were comforted concerning you by your faith.  
Commentaries:


No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for 1 Thessalonians 3:5.

I Thessalonians 3:5

Now Satan is referred to as the tempter in I Thessalonians 3:5, and Paul was concerned that the tempter had tempted the Thessalonian believers, and so he has written this down and we have it for us today. Satan is the great author of persecution.

In a time of persecution or of trial of any kind, he tries to tempt us to turn from the truth and to abandon God's way of life. In persecution, we are tempted to abandon our loyalty and dedication to God to avoid suffering.
