(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
1
And because we did not resist, we chose to remain in Athens by ourselves,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
2
And we sent Timotheus our brother to you, a Minister of God and our helper in The Good News of The Messiah, that he might strengthen you and inquire of you concerning your faith,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
3
Lest any of you should lose hope by such sufferings, for you are aware that we are appointed to this.
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
4
For also when we were with you, we said to you before that we would be persecuted, just as you know it happened.
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
5
Because of this I also did not resist until I sent to know your faith, lest the tempter would tempt you and our labor would be worthless.
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
6
But now since Timotheus has come to us from your midst and he gave us good news concerning your faith and about your love, and that you have a good commemoration of us in every place and you desire to see us, just as we also do you,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
7
Therefore we were comforted by you, brethren, concerning all our adversities and in our afflictions, because of your faith.
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
9
For what thanks can we pay on your behalf to God, for every joy with which we rejoice because of you,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
10
Except that before God, we pray all the more earnestly, night and day, to see your faces, and perfect whatever is lacking in your faith?
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
11
But God Our Father and our Lord Yeshua The Messiah shall direct our way to you,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
12
And may he multiply and increase your love one toward another, and that to every person, just as we love you,
(APB)
1 Thessalonians
3
:
13
And establish your hearts without a fault in holiness before God Our Father at the arrival of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah with all of his Holy Ones.
