For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone.
|
2
|
And we sent Timothy, our brother and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:
|
3
|
That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
|
4
|
For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations: as also it is come to pass, and you know.
|
5
|
For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain.
|
6
|
But now when Timothy came to us from you and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you:
|
7
|
Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith.
|
8
|
Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.
|
9
|
For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
|
10
|
Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?
|
11
|
Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
|
12
|
And may the Lord multiply you and make you abound in charity towards one another and towards all men: as we do also towards you,
|
13
|
To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
