1Thessalonians 3
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could no longer endure, we were pleased to be left at Athens alone.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ And we sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one should be drawn aside by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to them.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For truly, when we were with you, we told you before that we were going to suffer affliction, as it also happened, even you know.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I could no longer endure, I also sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you and our labor may have been in vain.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now when Timothy came from you to us and brought us good news [of] your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us (as we also you),
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ then, my brothers, we were comforted over you, through your faith, even in all our affliction and needs;
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we live, if you stand fast in [the] Lord.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy [with] which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ night and day praying exceedingly for [me] to see your face and to perfect the things lacking in your faith?
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ And may God Himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you.
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we also toward you,
mkjv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
