← 1 Thessalonians 3:4	1 Thessalonians 3:5 (KJV)	1 Thessalonians 3:6 →
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.	For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.	But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see] you:
