- 1. Wherefore no longer forbearing, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
- 2. and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,
- 3. that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,
- 4. for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand, that we are about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come to pass, and ye have known `it';
- 5. because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.
- 6. And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also `to see' you,
- 7. because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
- 8. because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;
- 9. for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?
- 10. night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.
- 11. And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you,
- 12. and you the Lord cause to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,
- 13. to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
