1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ that no man should be moved by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed.

⁴ For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we should suffer tribulation, even as it came to pass, as ye know.

⁵ For this cause, when I could no longer forbear it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.
