1 Thessalonians 3:2

Concern for Their Faith

1 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

2 and sent ^aTimothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

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—
