1 Thessalonians 3:1-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

3 ¶ Therefore when we could wait no longer, we agreed to remain in Athens alone

² and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of the Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you in your faith,

³ that no one should be moved in these tribulations, for you know that we are appointed for this.

⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you in advance that we must pass through tribulations, even as it has come to pass, and ye know.

⁵ For this cause I, also, not waiting any longer, have sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter has tempted you and our labour is in vain.
