1 Tesalonicenses 3
Reina Valera Contemporánea
3 Por lo tanto, cuando ya no pudimos soportarlo más, decidimos quedarnos solos en Atenas,(A) 2 y enviar a ustedes a nuestro hermano Timoteo, que es un servidor de Dios y colaborador de nosotros en el evangelio de Cristo, con el fin de afianzarlos y animarlos en su fe, 3 para que nadie se inquiete por estas dificultades. Como ustedes bien saben, a esto se nos ha destinado. 4 Cuando todavía estábamos con ustedes, les advertimos que tendríamos dificultades; y, como ustedes saben, así sucedió. 5 Por eso, cuando ya no pude esperar más, mandé a preguntar acerca de su fe, pues el tentador podría haberlos tentado, y entonces nuestro trabajo habría sido en vano.
6 Pero ahora Timoteo ha vuelto a nosotros, luego de haber estado con ustedes,(B) y nos ha dado las buenas noticias de la fe y el amor que ustedes tienen. Nos ha contado, además, que ustedes siempre nos recuerdan con cariño, y que desean vernos. También nosotros deseamos verlos a ustedes. 7 Por eso, hermanos, en medio de todas nuestras necesidades y aflicciones, ustedes nos han consolado por medio de su fe; 8 ¡el saber que ustedes están firmes en el Señor nos ha devuelto la vida! 9 ¿Cómo podríamos dar gracias a Dios por ustedes, y por todo el gozo que ustedes nos hacen disfrutar delante de nuestro Dios? 10 De día y de noche, no hay un solo momento en que no oremos para que podamos volver a verlos, y así podamos completar lo que falte a la fe de ustedes.
11 Que nuestro Dios y Padre, y nuestro Señor Jesucristo, dirijan nuestro camino hacia ustedes, 12 Y que el Señor los haga crecer y aumente el amor entre ustedes y hacia los demás, así como también nosotros los amamos a ustedes, 13 para que se fortalezca su corazón y sean ustedes santos e irreprensibles delante de nuestro Dios y Padre, cuando venga nuestro Señor Jesucristo con todos sus santos.
1 Tesalonicenses 3
Reina-Valera 1960
3 Por lo cual, no pudiendo soportarlo más, acordamos quedarnos solos en Atenas,(A) 2 y enviamos a Timoteo nuestro hermano, servidor de Dios y colaborador nuestro en el evangelio de Cristo, para confirmaros y exhortaros respecto a vuestra fe, 3 a fin de que nadie se inquiete por estas tribulaciones; porque vosotros mismos sabéis que para esto estamos puestos. 4 Porque también estando con vosotros, os predecíamos que íbamos a pasar tribulaciones, como ha acontecido y sabéis. 5 Por lo cual también yo, no pudiendo soportar más, envié para informarme de vuestra fe, no sea que os hubiese tentado el tentador, y que nuestro trabajo resultase en vano.
6 Pero cuando Timoteo volvió de vosotros a nosotros,(B) y nos dio buenas noticias de vuestra fe y amor, y que siempre nos recordáis con cariño, deseando vernos, como también nosotros a vosotros, 7 por ello, hermanos, en medio de toda nuestra necesidad y aflicción fuimos consolados de vosotros por medio de vuestra fe; 8 porque ahora vivimos, si vosotros estáis firmes en el Señor. 9 Por lo cual, ¿qué acción de gracias podremos dar a Dios por vosotros, por todo el gozo con que nos gozamos a causa de vosotros delante de nuestro Dios, 10 orando de noche y de día con gran insistencia, para que veamos vuestro rostro, y completemos lo que falte a vuestra fe?
11 Mas el mismo Dios y Padre nuestro, y nuestro Señor Jesucristo, dirija nuestro camino a vosotros. 12 Y el Señor os haga crecer y abundar en amor unos para con otros y para con todos, como también lo hacemos nosotros para con vosotros, 13 para que sean afirmados vuestros corazones, irreprensibles en santidad delante de Dios nuestro Padre, en la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo con todos sus santos.

Timothy’s Good Report
3 Therefore (A)when we could endure it no longer, we were pleased to be left behind at (B)Athens alone, 2 and we sent (C)Timothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith, 3 so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions, for you yourselves know that (D)we have been destined for this. 4 For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction, (E)just as it happened and as you know. 5 For this reason, (F)when I could endure it no longer, I also (G)sent to know about your faith, lest somehow (H)the tempter has tempted you, and (I)our labor be in vain.
6 But now that (J)Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of (K)your faith and love, and that you always (L)remember us kindly, longing to see us just as we also long to see you, 7 for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; 8 for now we really live, if you (M)stand firm in the Lord. 9 For (N)what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you, 10 as we (O)night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may (P)see your face, and may (Q)complete what is lacking in your faith?
11 (R)Now may (S)our God and Father (T)Himself and Jesus our Lord (U)direct our way to you, 12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and (V)abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you, 13 so that He may (W)strengthen your hearts (X)blameless in holiness, before (Y)our God and Father, at the [a](Z)coming of our Lord Jesus (AA)with all His [b]saints.

New International Version
3 So when we could stand it no longer,(A) we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.(B) 2 We sent Timothy,(C) who is our brother and co-worker(D) in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ,(E) to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.(F) For you know quite well that we are destined for them.(G) 4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.(H) 5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer,(I) I sent to find out about your faith.(J) I was afraid that in some way the tempter(K) had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.(L)
Timothy’s Encouraging Report
6 But Timothy(M) has just now come to us from you(N) and has brought good news about your faith and love.(O) He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.(P) 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm(Q) in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you(R) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(S) 10 Night and day we pray(T) most earnestly that we may see you again(U) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(V) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(W) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(X) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(Y) when our Lord Jesus comes(Z) with all his holy ones.(AA)
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.
