1 Thessalonians 3:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Timothy’s Report to Paul

3 We thought it best to remain in Athens by ourselves. But, because we couldn’t wait any longer ⌞for news about you⌟, ² we sent our brother Timothy to you. He serves God by spreading the Good News about Christ. His mission was to strengthen and encourage you in your faith ³ so that these troubles don’t disturb any of you. You know that we’re destined to suffer persecution.
