1 Tesalonika 3:2-13

3:2 We ¹  sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God ²  in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen you and encourage you about your faith, 3:3 so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this. 3:4 For in fact when we were with you, we were telling you in advance that we would suffer affliction, and so it has happened, as you well know. ³  3:5 So ⁴  when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

3:6 But now Timothy has come ⁵  to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection ⁶  and long to see us just as we also long to see you! ⁷  3:7 So ⁸  in all our distress and affliction, we were reassured about you, brothers and sisters, ⁹  through your faith. 3:8 For now we are alive again, ¹⁰  if you stand firm in the Lord. 3:9 For how can we thank God enough for you, ¹¹  for all the joy we feel ¹²  because of you before our God? 3:10 We pray earnestly night and day to see you in person ¹³  and make up what may be lacking in your faith.

3:11 Now may God our Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. 3:12 And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you, 3:13 so that your hearts are strengthened in holiness to be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. ¹⁴
