1 Thessalonians 3

1 Paul testifieth his great love to the Thessalonians, partly by sending Timothy unto them to strengthen and comfort them: partly by rejoicing in their well doing: 10 and partly by praying for them, and desiring a safe coming unto them.

 3:1 ¶ Wherefore 1352 when wee could y4722 z0 no longer 3371 forbeare, 4722 z5723 wee thought it good 2106 z5656 to bee left 2641 z5683 at 1722 Athens 116 alone: 3441

 3:2 And 2532 sent 3992 z5656 Timotheus 5095 our 2257 brother 80 and 2532 minister 1249 of God, 2316 and 2532 our 2257 fellow labourer 4904 in 1722 the x3588 Gospel 2098 of Christ, 5547 to y1519 establish 4741 z5658 you, 5209 and 2532 to comfort 3870 z5658 you 5209 concerning 4012 your 5216 faith: 4102

 3:3 That no man 3367 should be mooued 4525 z5745 by 1722 these 5025 afflictions: 2347 for 1063 your selues 846 know 1492 z5758 that 3754 we are appointed 2749 z5736 therunto. 1519 5124

 3:4 For 1063 verily 2532 when 3753 wee were 2258 z5713 with 4314 you, 5209 we told y4302 z0 you y5213 before, 4302 z5707 x5213 that 3754 we should 3195 z5719 suffer tribulation, 2346 z5745 euen 2532 as 2531 it came to passe 1096 z5633 and 2532 ye know. 1492 z5758

 3:5 For this y5124 cause 1223 x5124 when I 2504 could y4722 z0 no longer y3371 x3771 forbeare, 4722 z5723 I sent 3992 z5656 to y1519 know 1097 z5629 your 5216 faith, 4102 lest by some meanes 3381 y4458 the x3588 tempter 3985 z5723 haue tempted 3985 z5707 you, 5209 and 2532 our 2257 labor 2873 be 1096 z5638 in 1519 vaine. 2756

 3:6 But 1161 now 737 when Timotheus 5095 came 2064 z5631 from 575 you 5216 vnto 4314 vs, 2248 and 2532 brought y2097 z0 vs y2254 good tidings 2097 z5671 x2254 of your 5216 faith 4102 and 2532 charitie, 26 and 2532 that 3754 ye haue 2192 z5719 good 18 remembrance 3417 of vs 2257 alwayes, 3842 desiring greatly 1971 z5723 to see 1492 z5629 vs, 2248 as 2509 we 2249 also 2532 [to see] you: 5209

 3:7 Therefore 1223 5124 brethren, 80 wee were comforted 3870 z5681 ouer 1909 you 5213 in 1909 all 3956 our 2257 affliction 2347 and 2532 distresse, 318 by 1223 your 5216 faith: 4102

 3:8 For 3754 now 3568 we liue, 2198 z5719 if 1437 ye 5210 stand fast 4739 z5725 in 1722 the Lord. 2962

 3:9 For 1063 what 5101 thankes 2169 can x1410 we y1410 z5736 render y467 z0 to God y2316 againe 467 z5629 x2316 for 4012 you, 5216 for 1909 all 3956 the x3588 ioy 5479 wherewith 3739 wee ioy 5463 z5719 for y1223 your sakes 5209 x1223 before 1715 our 2257 God, 2316

 3:10 Night 3571 & 2532 day 2250 praying 1189 z5740 exceedingly 1537 4053 5228 that y1519 we might see 1492 z5629 your 5216 face, 4383 and 2532 might perfect 2675 z5658 that which is lacking 5303 in your 5216 faith? 4102

 3:11 Now 1161 God 2316 himselfe 846 and 2532 our 2257 Father, 3962 and 2532 our 2257 Lord 2962 Iesus 2424 Christ 5547 direct 2720 z5659 our 2257 way 3598 vnto 4314 you. 5209
