MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant and our fellow worker in the good-news of the Christ, that he might establish you and to encourage you concerning your faith; ³ that no one be shook up in these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are destined for this thing. ⁴ For even when we were with you, we were telling you beforehand that we are about to be afflicted; just-as it also happened and you know. ⁵ Because of this, no longer forbearing it, I also sent Timothy, that I might know your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might become vain.
