1 Wherefore 1352 when we could 4722 0 no longer 3371 forbear 4722, we thought it good 2106 to be left 2641 at 1722 Athens 116 alone 3441;
2 And 2532 sent 3992 Timotheus 5095, our 2257 brother 80, and 2532 minister 1249 of God 2316, and 2532 our 2257 fellowlabourer 4904 in 1722 the gospel 2098 of Christ 5547, to 1519 establish 4741 you 5209, and 2532 to comfort 3870 you 5209 concerning 4012 your 5216 faith 4102:
3 That no man 3367 should be moved 4525 by 1722 these 5025 afflictions 2347: for 1063 yourselves 846 know 1492 that 3754 we are appointed 2749 thereunto 1519 5124.
4 For 1063 verily 2532, when 3753 we were 2258 with 4314 you 5209, we told 4302 0 you 5213 before 4302 that 3754 we should 3195 suffer tribulation 2346; even 2532 as 2531 it came to pass 1096, and 2532 ye know 1492.
5 For this 5124 cause 1223, when I 2504 could 4722 0 no longer 3371 forbear 4722, I sent 3992 to 1519 know 1097 your 5216 faith 4102, lest by some means 3381 4458 the tempter 3985 have tempted 3985 you 5209, and 2532 our 2257 labour 2873 be 1096 in 1519 vain 2756.
6 But 1161 now 737 when Timotheus 5095 came 2064 from 575 you 5216 unto 4314 us 2248, and 2532 brought 2097 0 us 2254 good tidings 2097 of your 5216 faith 4102 and 2532 charity 26, and 2532 that 3754 ye have 2192 good 18 remembrance 3417 of us 2257 always 3842, desiring greatly 1971 to see 1492 us 2248, as 2509 we 2249 also 2532 to see you 5209:
7 Therefore 1223 5124, brethren 80, we were comforted 3870 over 1909 you 5213 in 1909 all 3956 our 2257 affliction 2347 and 2532 distress 318 by 1223 your 5216 faith 4102:
8 For 3754 now 3568 we live 2198, if 1437 ye 5210 stand fast 4739 in 1722 the Lord 2962.
9 For 1063 what 5101 thanks 2169 can we 1410 render 467 0 to God 2316 again 467 for 4012 you 5216, for 1909 all 3956 the joy 5479 wherewith 3739 we joy 5463 for 1223 your sakes 5209 before 1715 our 2257 God 2316;
10 Night 3571 and 2532 day 2250 praying 1189 exceedingly 1537 4053 5228 that 1519 we might see 1492 your 5216 face 4383, and 2532 might perfect 2675 that which is lacking 5303 in your 5216 faith 4102?
11 Now 1161 God 2316 himself 846 and 2532 our 2257 Father 3962, and 2532 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, direct 2720 our 2257 way 3598 unto 4314 you 5209.
12 And 1161 the Lord 2962 make 4121 0 you 5209 to increase 4121 and 2532 abound 4052 in love 26 one 240 0 toward 1519 another 240, and 2532 toward 1519 all 3956 men, even 2532 as 2509 we 2249 do toward 1519 you 5209:
13 To the end 1519 he may stablish 4741 your 5216 hearts 2588 unblameable 273 in 1722 holiness 42 before 1715 God 2316, even 2532 our 2257 Father 3962, at 1722 the coming 3952 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 with 3326 all 3956 his 846 saints 40.
