Paul testifieth his great love to the Thessalonians, partly by sending Timothy unto them to strengthen and comfort them: partly by rejoicing in their well doing:1 ¶ Whereforeº when we could¹ª no longerº forbear,ºª we thought it goodºª to be leftºª atº Athensº alone;º 2 Andº sentºª Timotheus,º ourº brother,º andº ministerº of God,º andº ourº fellowlabourerº inº the² gospelº of Christ,º to¹ establishºª you,º andº to comfortºª youº concerningº yourº faith:º 3 That no manº should be movedºª byº theseº afflictions:º forº yourselvesº knowºª thatº we are appointedºª thereunto.ºº 4 Forº verily,º whenº we wereºª withº you,º we told¹ª you¹ beforeºª² thatº we shouldºª suffer tribulation;ºª evenº asº it came to pass,ºª andº ye know.ºª 5 For this¹ cause,º² when Iº could¹ª no longer¹² forbear,ºª I sentºª to¹ knowºª yourº faith,º lest by some meansº¹ the² tempterºª have temptedºª you,º andº ourº labourº beºª inº vain.º 6 Butº nowº when Timotheusº cameºª fromº youº untoº us,º andº brought¹ª us¹ good tidingsºª² of yourº faithº andº charity,º andº thatº ye haveºª goodº remembranceº of usº always,º desiring greatlyºª to seeºª us,º asº weº alsoº [to see] you:º 7 Therefore,ºº brethren,º we were comfortedºª overº youº inº allº ourº afflictionº andº distressº byº yourº faith:º 8 Forº nowº we live,ºª ifº yeº stand fastºª inº the Lord.º 9 Forº whatº thanksº can² we¹ª render¹ª to God¹ againºª² forº you,º forº allº the² joyº wherewithº we joyºª for¹ your sakesº² beforeº ourº God;º [1] Jr 20:9; 44:22; Ac 17:15; 2Co 2:13; 11:29; 1Th 2:17; 3:5.
