So
when we could
bear
it no
longer, we were
willing
to be left on
our
own
in
Athens .
Therefore,
when we couldn't
stand
it any
longer, we thought
it
good
to be left behind
at
Athens alone,
We
sent Timothy, our brother and fellow
worker
for
God
in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen
and encourage
you in
your faith ,
and
sent Timothy, our brother and God's
servant
in the Gospel of Christ, to establish
you,
and to
comfort
you concerning
your faith ;
so
that none
of
you
would
be shaken
by these trials
. For you know that we are destined
for
this.
that no
one
be moved
by these afflictions
. For you know that we are appointed
to
this task
.
Indeed
, when we were with you, we kept
warning
you that we would
suffer persecution;
and
as you know ,
it
has
come
to
pass
.
For
most
assuredly
, when we were with you, we told
you beforehand
that we are
to
suffer affliction,
even
as it
happened,
and
you know.
For this reason
, when I could
bear
it no
longer, I
sent to
find
out
about
your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow
tempted you and caused
our labor to
be
in vain.
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.
But just now ,
Timothy
has
returned
from his
visit
with
the
good
news about
your faith ,
your
love, and the
fond
memories
you have preserved
, longing to see us just
as we long to see you .
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 ;
For this reason
, brothers, in all our distress and persecution,
we
have
been
reassured
about
you,
because
of
your faith.
for this cause
, brothers, we
were
comforted
over
you
in all our distress and affliction
through
your faith.
For now we can
go
on
living
, as
long
as
you are
standing
firm
in the Lord.
For now we live
, if
you stand
fast
in the Lord.
How
can we adequately
thank
God for you in
return
for our
great
joy over
you
in
His
presence?
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;
Night and day we
pray
most
earnestly
that we may see you
face
to
face and supply
what
is lacking from
your faith .
night and day praying
exceedingly
that we may see your
face ,
and may
perfect
that
which
is lacking in
your faith ?
Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you .
Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ
, direct our way to you ;
And may
the Lord cause
you to increase and overflow
with
love for
one another and for
everyone
else
, just
as our
love
for
you overflows
,
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,
so
that
He may establish your hearts in blamelessness
and
holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
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.
