WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, also our fellow worker in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and encourage you concerning your faith, ³ that no one be unsettled by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. ⁴ For indeed, when we were with you we kept telling you in advance that we were going to be afflicted; just as it happened, in fact, as you know. ⁵ Yes, that’s why, no longer standing it, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had successfully tempted you and our labor come to be for nothing.
