1 Thessalonians 3:6 YLT

⁴  for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand, that we are about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come to pass, and ye have known 'it';

⁵  because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

⁶  And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also 'to see' you,

⁷  because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

⁸  because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;
