1For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone.
1Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,
2And we sent Timothy, our brother and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:
2and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman underGod in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage [you] concerning your faith,
3That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
3that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;
4For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations: as also it is come to pass, and you know.
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 cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain.
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 now when Timothy came to us from you and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you:
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;
7Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith.
7for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith,
9For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
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 more abundantly praying that we may see your face and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?
10night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
11Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
11But ourGod and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
