1 Thessalonians 3:6

Read in context

1 Thessalonians 3:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.

5 For 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 caused our labor to be in vain.

6 But 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.

7 For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.

8 For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
