1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

Darby Translation

³ that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;

⁴ for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)

⁵ For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.
