1 Therefore
2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, in order to strengthen and to encourage you about your faith,
4 for indeed when we were with you we told you beforehand that we were about to be afflicted, just as indeed it happened, and you know.
5 Because of this, I also,
6 But now,
7 because of this, brothers, we have been comforted because of you in all our distress and affliction through your faith,
8 because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.
9 For what thanks can we repay to God concerning you, because of all the joy
10 night and day praying beyond all measure that
11 Now
12 and
13 so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. Amen.
