1 Thessalonians 3:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And we sent Timothy, our brother, and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:

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.
