1 Thessalonians 3:4-6

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴ When we were with you, we told you that we would have trouble. Trouble came. And now you know what we said is true.

⁵ That is why I could not wait any longer. I sent Timothy to find out if you were still believing. I was afraid that Satan had tried you too much. Then our work would have been for nothing.

⁶ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.
