1 Thessalonians 3:5-8 For this cause, when I could no longer endure, I also sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you and our labor may have been in vain.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For this cause, when I could no longer endure, I also sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you and our labor may have been in vain. ⁶ But now when Timothy came from you to us and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us (as we also you), ⁷ then, my brothers, we were comforted over you, through your faith, even in all our affliction and needs; ⁸ for now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
