1 Thessalonians 3:1-3

21st Century King James Version

3 Therefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

² and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God and our fellow laborer in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

³ that no man should be moved by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed.
