1 Thessalonians 3:2-4

Darby Translation

² and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage [you] concerning your faith,

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.)
