52_1TH_03_01 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear , we thought it good to be left at Athens alone ;
52_1TH_03_02 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 :
52_1TH_03_03 that no man should be moved by These afflictions : for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto .
52_1TH_03_04 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 .
52_1TH_03_05 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 .
52_1TH_03_06 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 :
52_1TH_03_07 therefore , brethren , we were comforted over you in all our affliction And distress by your faith :
52_1TH_03_08 for now we live , if ye stand fast in the LORD .
52_1TH_03_09 for what thanks can we render to God again for you , for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God ;
52_1TH_03_10 night And day Praying exceedingly that we might see your face , And might perfect that which Is lacking in your faith ?
52_1TH_03_11 now God himself And our Father , And our LORD Jesus Christ , direct our way unto you .
52_1TH_03_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 :
52_1TH_03_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 .
