BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ² We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith; ³ So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us. ⁴ And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see. ⁵ For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.
