web @1Thessalonians:3:1 @Therefore when we couldn 't stand it any longer , we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone , web @1Thessalonians:3:2 @and sent Timothy , our brother and God 's servant in the Good News of Christ , to establish you , and to comfort you concerning your faith ; web @1Thessalonians:3:3 @that no one be moved by these afflictions . For you know that we are appointed to this task . web @1Thessalonians:3:4 @For most certainly , when we were with you , we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction , even as it happened , and you know . web @1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this cause I also , when I couldn 't stand it any longer , sent that I might know your faith , for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you , and our labor would have been in vain . web @1Thessalonians:3:6 @But when Timothy came just now to us from you , and brought us glad news of your faith and love , and that you have good memories of us always , longing to see us , even as we also long to see you ; web @1Thessalonians:3:7 @for this cause , brothers , we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith . web @1Thessalonians:3:8 @For now we live , if you stand fast in the Lord . web @1Thessalonians:3:9 @For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you , for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God ; web @1Thessalonians:3:10 @night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face , and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith ? web @1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father himself , and our Lord Jesus Christ , direct our way to you ; web @1Thessalonians:3:12 @and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another , and toward all men , even as we also do toward you , web @1Thessalonians:3:13 @to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father , at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints .
