OET 1TH chapter 3

Literal Version

3 [ref]When we could endure it no longer, we were happy to be left alone in Athens. 2 We sent Timothy, who’s our brother and God’s servant in the messiah’s good message, so that he could strengthen you all and encourage you in your faith 3 so that no one will be upset by these difficulties because you all know that God has appointed us for those. 4 Also, when we were with you all previously, we told you that we were going to be oppressed, and then it happened as you know. 5 So again when I could no longer endure it, I sent Timothy to find out about your faith, just in case you’d been tempted by the tempter and then our work there would have been wasted.

6 [ref]But now Timothy’s returned here to us, telling us the good news about your faith and love, and how you’re always mentioning good things about us and wanting to see us, just like we’d like to see all of you. 7 So even in our distress and sufferings, we’re comforted by your faith, brothers and sisters 8 because now we can live happily since you’re all standing firm in the master. 9 We’re not able to repay God for the thankfulness that we have about you, because we are certainly thrilled in God’s presence because of you all.

10 Day and night we’re strongly requesting God that we’ll be able to go and see you all again, and to teach anything that’s lacking in your faith, 11 and that God our father himself and our master Yeshua might show us how we could get to you all.

12 May the master increase your numbers and give you all an excess of love towards each other and toward everyone, just like we also have toward all of you, 13 in order to strengthen your faith and make you blameless and spotless before our father God, when our master Yeshua comes with all his holy people. May it be so.

3 Therefore no _longer enduring, we _took _pleasure to _be _left in Athaʸnai alone, 2 and we _sent Timotheos, the brother of _us, and servant of_ the _god in the good _message of _the chosen _one /messiah, in _order that to _strengthen you _all and to _exhort, concerning the faith of _you _all, 3 that no _one to _be _being _disturbed by the tribulations these.
For/Because yourselves you _all _have _known that for this we _are _appointing.
4 For/Because also when with you _all we _were, we _were _previously _saying to _you _all that we _are _going to _be _being _oppressed, as also it _became and you _all _have _known.
5 Because _of this also _I no _longer enduring, I _sent in _order that to _know the faith of _you _all, lest somehow tempted you _all the one tempting, and in vain may _become the labour of _us.
6 But now having _come Timotheos to us from you _all, and having _good _message _preached to _us about _the faith and the love of _you _all, and that you _all _are _having a_mentioning of _us good always, longing us to _see, just _as also we you _all.
7 Because _of this we _were _comforted, brothers, by you _all in all the hardship and tribulation of _us, through the of _you _all faith.
8 Because now we _are _living, if you _all are _standing _firm in the_master.
9 For/Because what thanksgiving we _are _being _able to _the to_god to _repay concerning you _all, because/for all the joy that we _are _rejoicing because _of you _all, before the god of _us.
10 Night and day, beyond _exceedingly beseeching in _order that to _see of _you _all the face, and to _prepare the lacking things in _the faith of _you _all?
11 And himself the god and father of _us, and the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), might _direct the way of _us to you _all.
12 And you _all the master might _be _plentiful and might _be _plentiful the in _love toward one _another, and toward all, just _as also we toward you _all, 13 in _order that to _strengthen of _you _all the hearts, blameless in holiness before the god and father of _us, at the coming of _the master of _us, Yaʸsous, with all the holy ones of _him.
Truly.
