1 Thessalonians 3:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

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

³ so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

⁴ For truly we told you before (when we were with you) that we would suffer tribulations even as it happened. And you know it.
