1 Thessalonians 3:1

Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

Therefore, when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone;

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.
