1 Thessalonians 3:5-8 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.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ⁶ But now, when Timothy came to us from you, and proclaimed to us good-news about your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, just-as we also long to see you. ⁷ Brethren, because of this, we were comforted on the basis of you in all our affliction and calamity through your faith, ⁸ because now we live, if you stand-firm in the Lord.
