1 Thessalonians 3:5-8

Rotherham(i) 5 For this cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.
6 But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love,––and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us,––even as, we also, to see you, 7 For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith; 8 Because, now, we live,––if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord.
