Timothy’s Visit

3So [when] we could bear [it] no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens. 2We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God[fn] in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3so that none [of you] would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this. 4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass. 5For this reason [when] I could bear [it] no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, [for fear that] the tempter {had} somehow tempted you and that our labor might have been in vain.

Timothy’s Encouraging Report

6But just now, Timothy has returned from [ his visit] with the good news about your faith, [your] love, and [the] fond memories you have preserved longing to see us just as we [long to see] you. 7For this reason brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith. 8For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in [the] Lord.

9How can we [adequately] thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in [His] presence 10Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.

11Now {may} our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you. 12And {may} the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone [else], just as our [love] for you [overflows], 13so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness [and] holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.


3:2 Or our brother and God’s fellow worker; NE, WH, BYZ, and TR our brother and minister of God
