Berean Standard Bible

King James Version
So
when we could bear
it
no longer, we were
willing
to be left on
our
own
in
Athens .
Wherefore
when we could no longer forbear
, we thought
it
good
to be left 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 Timotheus
, our brother ,
and minister
of
God ,
and
our
fellowlabourer
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
man
should
be moved
by these afflictions:
for yourselves
know that we are appointed
thereunto
.
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
verily
, when we were with you, we told
you before
that we should
suffer tribulation
; even
as it came
to pass ,
and
ye
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
, when I could no longer forbear
, I sent to know
your faith, lest
by
some
means
the tempter have
tempted you ,
and our labour
be 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 now when
Timotheus
came
from you
unto
us,
and
brought
us
good tidings
of
your faith and
charity
, and that
ye
have good
remembrance
of
us
always
, desiring
greatly
to see us ,
as we also
to see you :
For
this
reason
, brothers
, in all our distress
and persecution,
we
have
been
reassured
about
you,
because
of
your faith .
Therefore
, brethren
, we
were
comforted
over
you
in all our affliction
and distress
by
your faith :
For now we can
go
on
living
, as
long
as
you
are
standing
firm
in the Lord.
For now we live
, if
ye
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
thanks
can we render
to
God again
for you ,
for all
the
joy wherewith
we
joy
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 might
see your
face ,
and might
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 God himself
and our
Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ
, direct our way unto
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
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 stablish
your hearts unblameable
in holiness before God ,
even
our
Father ,
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
with all his saints.
