1 Thessalonians 3:1-3

Worldwide English (New Testament)

3 We felt we could not wait any longer. So we thought it best to stay at the city of Athens alone.

² And we sent our brother Timothy to you. He works for God by telling the good news about Christ. We sent him to help you be strong and to encourage you in what you believe.

³ We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.
