1 And so, as we could bear it no longer, we
made up our minds to remain behind alone at
Athens,
2 and sent Timothy, our Brother and
God's Minister of the Good News of the Christ, to strengthen
you,
3 and to encourage you in your faith, so that none of you
should be shaken by the troubles through which you are
passing. You yourselves know that we are destined to
meet with such things.
4 For, even while we were with you,
we warned you beforehand that we were certain to encounter
trouble.
5 And so it proved, as you know. Therefore, since I
could no longer endure the uncertainty, I sent to make
inquiries about your faith, fearing that the Tempter had
tempted you, and that our toil might prove to have been in
vain. ⪆⪆
6 But, when Timothy recently returned to us from
you with good news of your faith and love, and told us how
kindly you think of us—always longing, he said, to see us, just
as we are longing to see you—on hearing this,
7 we felt
encouraged about you, Brothers, in the midst of all our difficulties
and troubles, by your faith.
8 For it is new life to us to
know that you are holding fast to the Lord.
9 How can we thank
God enough for all the happiness that you are giving us in the
sight of our God?
10 Night and day we pray most earnestly
that we may see you face to face, and make good any deficiency
in your faith.
note
11 May our God and Father himself, and Jesus,
our Lord, make the way plain for us to come to
you.
12 And for you, may the Lord fill you to
overflowing with love for one another and for
every one, just as we are filled with love for you;
13 and so make
your hearts strong, and your lives pure beyond reproach, in
the sight of our God and Father, at the Coming of our Lord
Jesus, with all his Holy Ones.
