1 Thessalonians 3:5-8 Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain. ⁶ But Timothy, having already come to us from you, and proclaimed to us the good news of your faith and your divine love, and that you always have a good mention of us, longing to see us, as we do to see you; ⁷ therefore we were comforted, brethren, over you in all our distress and tribulation on account of your faith; ⁸ because we now live, if you stand in the Lord.
