1 Thessalonians 3
KJV Easy Read Bible

Concern for Their Faith

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

2And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish youp, and to comfort youp concerning yourp faith:

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

4For verily, when we were with youp, we told youp before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and youp know.   truly; affliction

5For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know yourp faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted youp, and our labor be in vain.   referring to Satan

Encouraged by Timothy

6But now when Timothy came from youp to us, and brought us good tidings of yourp faith and charity, and that youp have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see youp:   news; love

7Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over youp in all our affliction and distress by yourp faith:

8For now we live, if youp stand fast in the Lord.   firm, firmly

9For what thanks can we render to God again for youp, for all the joy wherewith we joy for yourp sakes before our God;   give

10Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see yourp face, and might perfect that which is lacking in yourp faith?

Prayer for the Church

11Now God Himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to youp.   guide

12And the Lord make youp to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward youp:   overflow

13To the end He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.   those who are devoted to God, believers
