The Gospel of Christ - 1 Thessalonians 3

1 Thessalonians 3:1 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we  thought it good to be left at Athens alone; 

1 Thessalonians 3:2 And sent  Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our  fellow labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and  to comfort you concerning your faith.

1 Thessalonians 3:3 That no man  should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know  that we are appointed thereunto.

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. 

1 Thessalonians 3:5 For  this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know  your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted  you, and our labour be in vain. 

1 Thessalonians 3:6 But now when  Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good  tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good  remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we  also to see you: 

1 Thessalonians 3:7 Therefore, brethren, we were  comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your  faith: 

1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 3:9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you,  for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our  God; 

1 Thessalonians 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we  might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking  in your faith? 

1 Thessalonians 3:11 Now God himself and our Father, and  our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 

1 Thessalonians 3:12 And  the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one  toward another, and toward all men, even as we do  toward you: 

1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts  unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the  coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
