1 Thessalonians 3:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn of your faith, lest the tempter might have put you to the test and all our labor might have been for naught.
6 But Timothy has just now returned to us from you and brought us the joyful news of your faith and love. He tells us that you always speak fondly of us and long to see us just as much as we long to see you.[a] 7 For this reason, brethren, in the midst of our distress and hardship we have been reassured by your faith.
