1 Thessalonians 3:1-5 - Paul Sends Timothy To Thessalonica
1 Therefore when we could bear no longer, we thought good to be left at Athens alone, 2 And sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God and our fellow-worker in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith, 3 That no one might be moved by these afflictions; for ye know that we are appointed hereto. 4 For when we were with you we told you before, we should be afflicted; as it came to pass, and ye know. 5 Therefore when I could bear no longer, I sent to know your faith, left by any means the tempter should have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
