1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.

⁴ For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.

⁵ For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.
