1 Thessalonians 3:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² and we sent ^(A)Timothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith, ³ so that no one would be ^[a]disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that ^(B)we have been destined for this. ⁴ For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; ^[b](C)and so it came to pass, ^[c]as you know.
