Etheridge - I Thessalonians - 3

3:1  And because we could not endure, we were willing to be left at Athinos alone,

3:2  and to send to you Timotheos our brother, a minister of Aloha and our helper in the gospel of the Meshiha, to fortify you, and inquire of you concerning your faith,

3:3  that none of you should be slain through these afflictions; for you know that to this we are set.

3:4  For while also we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted, as you know that it hath been.

3:5  On account of this also, I, not enduring until I had sent to know your faith, lest the tempter should tempt you, and we should have laboured in vain;

3:6  but now when Timotheos came to us from among you, and gave us intelligence of your faith and of your love, and that you have a good remembrance of us in every season, and desire to see us as we also (to see) you;

3:7  on this account we were comforted in you, my brethren, in all our anxieties and our afflictions because of your faith.

3:8  And now we live, if you are established in our Lord.

3:9  For what thanks giving can we render on account of you to Aloha, over all the joy with which we rejoice on your behalf,

3:10  unless before Aloha we supplicate exceedingly by night and by day to see your faces, and to perfect what is wanting to your faith?

3:11  But Aloha himself, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, will make straight our way to you,

3:12  and he will cause your love to increase to one another, and to every man, even as we love you;

3:13  and will establish your hearts without blame in holiness, before Aloha our Father, at the advent of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha with all his saints.
