帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
3 既然我们不能再忍，就决定独自留在雅典， 2 于是差派我们在基督福音上作 神同工的弟兄提摩太前去，在你们所信的道上坚固你们，劝勉你们， 3 免得有人被这些患难动摇。因为你们自己知道，我们受患难原是命定的。 4 我们在你们那里的时候，曾预先告诉你们，我们必受患难；你们知道，这果然发生了。 5 为此，既然我不能再忍，就差派人去，要知道你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的果真诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦归于徒然。
6 但是，提摩太刚从你们那里回来，将你们信心和爱心的好消息报给我们，又说你们常常记念我们，切切想见我们，如同我们想见你们一样。 7 所以，弟兄们，我们在一切困苦患难中，因着你们的信心得到鼓励。 8 如今你们若靠主站立得稳，我们就得生了。 9 我们在 神面前，因着你们满有喜乐。为这一切喜乐，我们能用怎样的感谢为你们报答 神呢？ 10 我们昼夜切切祈求要见你们的面，来补足你们信心的不足。
11 愿我们的父 神自己和我们的主耶稣，为我们开路到你们那里去。 12 又愿主使你们彼此相爱的心，和爱众人的心，都能增长，充足，如同我们爱你们一样， 13 好坚固你们的心，使你们在我们的主耶稣同他众圣徒来临的时候，在我们父 神面前，成为圣洁，无可指责。阿们！[a]

New King James Version
Concern for Their Faith
3 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone, 2 and sent (A)Timothy, 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 (B)that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that (C)we are appointed to this. 4 (D)For, 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, (E)lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and (F)our labor might be in vain.
Encouraged by Timothy
6 (G)But 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, (H)as we also to see you— 7 therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress (I)we were comforted concerning you by your faith. 8 For now we live, if you (J)stand fast in the Lord.
9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God, 10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face (K)and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
Prayer for the Church
11 Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, (L)direct our way to you. 12 And may the Lord make you increase and (M)abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, 13 so that He may establish (N)your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
1 Thessalonians 3
King James Version
3 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
