1 Thessalonians 3

1 Wherefore, no longer concealing our anxiety, we were well-pleased to be left in Athens, alone,

Therefore no longer enduring we thought it best to be left behind in Athens alone

2 And sent Timothy—our brother, and God’s minister in the glad-message of the Christ—that he might confirm and console you over your faith,

and we sent Timothy the brother of us and (servant *KO) (and *K) fellow worker (of us *K) of God in the gospel of Christ in order to strengthen you and to encourage (you *k) (concerning *N+kO) the faith of you,

3 That, no one, might be shrinking back in these tribulations. For ye, yourselves, know, that, hereunto, are we appointed;

no one [is] to be moved by tribulations these; Yourselves for you know that for this we are destined;

4 For, even when we were with you, we told you beforehand—we are destined to suffer tribulation! even as it also came to pass, and ye know.

And indeed when with you we were, we were telling beforehand you that we are about to suffer affliction even as also it came to pass and you know;

5 For this cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.

Because of this I myself also I myself also no longer enduring I sent in order to know the faith of you, lest perhaps tempted you the [one] tempting and in vain may be the labor of us.

6 But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, —and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us, —even as, we also, to see you,

Presently however when was coming Timothy to us from you and having evangelised to us of the faith and the love of you and that you have a remembrance of us good always longing us to see just as also we ourselves you,

7 For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith;

because of this we were encouraged, brothers, as to you in all the distress and tribulation of us through your faith;

8 Because, now, we live, —if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord.

For now we live, if you yourselves (are standing firm *N+kO) in [the] Lord.

9 For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God?—

What for thanksgiving are we able to God to give concerning you in return for all the joy that we rejoice because of you before the God of us,

10 Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?

by night and day super overexcessively super overexcessively super overexcessively imploring for [us] to see your face and to supply the [things] lacking in the faith of you?

11 Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:

Himself now the God and Father of us and the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K) would direct the way of us to you;

12 And, you, may the Lord cause to abound and excel in your love one toward another, and toward all, —even as, we, do toward you:

You now the Lord would make to increase and He would abound in love toward one another and toward all just as also we ourselves toward you

13 To the end he may confirms your hearts, faultless in holiness, before our God and Father, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

in order to strengthen your hearts blameless in holiness before the God and Father of us at the coming of the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K) with all the saints of Him (Amen. *N)
