1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ that no one should be moved in these tribulations, for you know that we are appointed for this.

⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you in advance that we must pass through tribulations, even as it has come to pass, and ye know.

⁵ For this cause I, also, not waiting any longer, have sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter has tempted you and our labour is in vain.
