ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and sent Timothy, our brother, and a fellow-worker with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to exhort you concerning your faith; ³ that no one should be shaken by these afflictions, for yourselves know that unto this we are appointed. ⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction; as also it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter tempted you, and our labor should be in vain. ⁶ But now, when Timothy came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you; ⁷ for this cause we were consoled, brethren, over you in all our affliction and distress, through your faith; ⁸ because now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
