1 Thessalonians 3:5-8 For this cause I, also, not waiting any longer, have sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter has tempted you and our labour is in vain.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For this cause I, also, not waiting any longer, have sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter has tempted you and our labour is in vain. ⁶ ¶ But now when Timothy came from you unto us and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you. ⁷ Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our tribulation and need by your faith; ⁸ for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
