1 Thessalonians 3:1

¹  Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

²  And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

³  That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
