CHAP. III.
1 S. Paul testifieth his great loue to the Thessalonians,
partly by sending Timothie vnto
them to strengthen and comfort them: partly
by reioycing in their weldoing: 10 and
partly by praying for them, and desiring a
safe comming vnto them.
1
Wherefore when wee could
no longer forbeare, wee
thought it good to bee left
at Athens alone:
2
And sent Timotheus
our brother and minister of God, and
our fellow labourer in the Gospel of
-- --
Of afflictions.
Christ, to establish you, and to comfort
you concerning your faith:
3
That no man should be mooued
by these afflictions: for your selues
know that we are appointed therunto.
4
For verily when wee were with
you, we told you before, that we should
suffer tribulation, euen as it came to
passe and ye know.
5
For this cause when I could no longer
forbeare, I sent to know your faith,
lest by some meanes the tempter haue
tempted you, and our labor be in vaine.
6
But now when Timotheus came
from you vnto vs, and brought vs
good tidings of your faith and charitie,
and that ye haue good remembrance of
vs alwayes, desiring greatly to see vs,
as we also to see you:
7
Therefore brethren, wee were
comforted ouer you in all our affliction
and distresse, by your faith:
8
For now we note liue, if ye stand fast
in the Lord.
9
For what thankes can we render
to God againe for you, for all the ioy
wherewith wee ioy for your sakes before
our God,
10
Night ∧ day praying exceedingly
that we might see your face, and might
perfect that which is lacking in your
faith?
11
Now God himselfe and our Father,
and our Lord Iesus Christ note direct
our way vnto you.
12
And the Lorde make you to increase,
∧ abound in loue one towards another,
and towards all men, euen as
we doe towards you:
13
To the end hee may stablish your
hearts vnblameable in holinesse before
God euen our Father, at the comming
of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his
Saints.
