Goodspeed(i)
2 and I sent my brother Timothy, a servant of God in preaching the good news of the Christ, to strengthen you in your faith
3 and encourage you not to be led astray, any of you, in all these troubles. You know yourselves that this is what we must expect,
4 for when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were going to have trouble, and it came true, as you know.
5 That was why, when I could not bear it any longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for I was afraid that the tempter might have tempted you and all our labor might be lost.
