1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ We wanted to come to you. Twice, I, Paul, wanted to come. But Satan stopped us.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ What is our hope when our Lord Jesus comes? What will make us happy and proud then? It is you people!
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ You are ones of whom we are proud. You make us happy.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ missing fehlt/missing
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ We felt we could not wait any longer. So we thought it best to stay at the city of Athens alone.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ And we sent our brother Timothy to you. He works for God by telling the good news about Christ. We sent him to help you be strong and to encourage you in what you believe.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ When we were with you, we told you that we would have trouble. Trouble came. And now you know what we said is true.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ That is why I could not wait any longer. I sent Timothy to find out if you were still believing. I was afraid that Satan had tried you too much. Then our work would have been for nothing.
