Sha'ul�s First Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 3
{3:1} Therefore, when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought it
good to be left behind at Athens alone, {3:2} and sent Timothy, our
brother and God's servant in the Good News of Messiah, to establish
you, and to comfort you concerning your faith; {3:3} that no one be
moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this
task. {3:4} For most assuredly, when we were with you, we told you
beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and
you know. {3:5} For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any
longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means
the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
{3:6} But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us
glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of
us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you; {3:7}
for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our
distress and affliction through your faith. {3:8} For now we live, if
you stand fast in the Lord. {3:9} For what thanksgiving can we render
again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your
sakes before our God; {3:10} night and day praying exceedingly that we
may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your
faith? {3:11} Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah, direct our way to you; {3:12} and the Lord make you to
increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men,
even as we also do toward you, {3:13} to the end he may establish your
hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming
of our Lord Yeshua with all his holy ones.
