1 Thessalonians 3:4

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 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 verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

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.
