1 Thessalonians 3

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

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

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

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

9 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 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 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 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 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)
