Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Wherefore
no longer forbearing
, we thought
good
to be left in Athens alone,
So
when
we
could
bear
it
no longer, we were
willing
to be left on
our
own
in Athens .
and
did
send
Timotheus
--
our brother ,
and a
ministrant
of
God,
and
our
fellow -workman
in the good
news
of the
Christ --
to
establish
you
, and
to comfort
you concerning
your faith,
We
sent
Timothy,
our brother and fellow worker
for
God
in the gospel
of Christ, to strengthen
and
encourage
you in
your faith,
that no
one
be moved
in
these tribulations,
for yourselves
have
known
that for
this
we are set,
so
that none
of
you
would
be shaken
by
these trials.
For you
know
that we are destined
for
this.
for
even
when we were with you, we said
to
you beforehand,
that we are
about
to
suffer tribulation,
as also
it did
come to pass ,
and
ye
have
known
`it';
Indeed,
when we were with you, we kept
warning
you that we would
suffer persecution;
and
as you
know,
it has
come to pass .
because
of
this also
, I ,
no longer forbearing
, did
send
to know
your faith, lest
he
who
is
tempting
did
tempt
you ,
and in vain might
be
our
labour
.
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.
And
now Timotheus
having
come
unto
us
from
you
, and
having
declared
good news to
us
of
your faith and
love, and that
ye
have a
good
remembrance
of
us
always
, desiring
much
to see us ,
as we also
`
to see '
you ,
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 .
because
of
this we
were
comforted,
brethren
, over
you
, in all our tribulation
and necessity
, through
your faith ,
For
this reason
, brothers
, in all our distress
and persecution
, we
have
been
reassured
about
you,
because
of
your faith .
because
now we live
, if
ye
may
stand
fast
in the Lord ;
For
now we can
go
on
living
, as
long
as
you
are
standing
firm
in the Lord .
for
what
thanks
are
we able
to
recompense
to
God for you ,
for all
the
joy
with
which
we
do
joy because
of
you in the
presence of
our
God
?
How
can
we adequately
thank
God for you in
return
for our
great
joy over
you in His
presence?
night and day exceedingly
beseeching,
that we might
see your
face ,
and perfect
the
things
lacking in
your faith.
Night and day we
pray
most
earnestly
that we may
see you
face to
face
and supply
what
is
lacking from
your faith.
And
our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ
, direct our way unto
you ,
Now
may
our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to
you .
and you
the Lord cause to increase and to
abound
in
the
love to
one another ,
and to
all
, even
as we
also
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
,
to
the
establishing
your hearts blameless
in sanctification
before our God and Father ,
in
the presence
of our Lord Jesus Christ
with all His saints.
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.
