(For yourselves know that we are set for this; 4for 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.) 5For this reason I also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing. 6But Timotheus having just come to us from you, and brought to us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have always good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, even as we also you; 7for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith, 8because now we live if ye stand firm in [the] Lord. 9For what thanksgiving can we render toGod for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before ourGod, 10night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith? 11But ourGod and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you. 12But you, may the Lord make to exceed and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also towards you, 13in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before ourGod and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. ‹Previous chapter1 Thessalonians 2Next chapter1 Thessalonians 4›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions1 Thessalonians 3 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
