1 Because of this, willing to wait no longer, it was pleasing to us to remain at Athens, alone.
2 And we sent Timothy, our brother and a minister of God in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you, on behalf of your faith,
3 so that no one would be disturbed during these tribulations. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to this.
4 For even while we were with you, we predicted to you that we would suffer tribulations, even as it has happened, and as you know.
5 For this reason also, I was not willing to wait any longer, and I sent to find out about your faith, lest perhaps he who tempts may have tempted you, and our labor might have been in vain.
