ABP - I Thessalonians - 3

3:1  Therefore no longer holding off, we thought well to be left behind in Athens alone;

3:2  and we sent forth Timothy our brother and servant of God, and our fellow-worker in the good news of the Christ, for the supporting you, and to comfort you concerning the belief of yours;

3:3  in the no one shrinking in these afflictions; for you yourselves know that in this we are situated.

3:4  For also, when [2with 3you 1we were], we said beforehand to you that we are about to be afflicted; as also it happened, and you know.

3:5  Because of this, I also no longer holding off, sent forth for the knowing the belief of yours, lest perhaps [3tested 4you 1the one 2testing], and [3in 4vain 2became 1our toil].

3:6  But now Timothy having come to us from you, and having announced good news to us, the belief and the love of yours, and that you have [3remembrance 4of us 2a good 1at all times], longing to see us, just as also we you;

3:7  because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you in all [2affliction 3and 4necessity 1our], because of the belief of yours;

3:8  for now we live if you stand firmly in the Lord.

3:9  For what thankfulness are we able to recompense God concerning you, for all the joy which we rejoice on account of you before our God,

3:10  night and day superabundantly beseeching for the beholding your face, and to ready the deficiencies of the belief of yours?

3:11  [7himself 1And 4God 5and 6father 3our 8and 9our Lord 10Jesus 11Christ 2may] straighten out our way to you.

3:12  [6you 1And 3the 4Lord 2may 5superabound], and may he abound the love towards one another, and towards all, just as also we towards you;

3:13  so as to support your hearts blameless in holiness before the God and our father, at the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his holy ones.
