- 1. Wherefore since we coulde no longer forbeare, wee thought it good to remaine at Athens alone,
- 2. And haue sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our labour felow in the Gospel of Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you touching your faith,
- 3. That no man should be moued with these afflictions: for ye your selues knowe, that we are appointed thereunto.
- 4. For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, euen as it came to passe, and ye knowe it.
- 5. Euen for this cause, when I could no longer forbeare, I sent him that I might knowe of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labour had bene in vaine.
- 6. But now lately when Timotheus came fro you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and loue, & that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring to see vs, as we also do you,
- 7. Therefore, brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessitie through your faith.
- 8. For nowe are wee aliue, if ye stand fast in the Lorde.
- 9. For what thankes can wee recompense to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith we reioyce for your sakes before our God,
- 10. Night and day, praying exceedingly that wee might see your face, and might accomplish that which is lacking in your faith?
- 11. Nowe God himselfe, euen our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ, guide our iourney vnto you,
- 12. And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we doe toward you:
- 13. To make your hearts stable & vnblameable in holines before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints.
