¹ And, because we could no longer endure it, we were willing to be left alone at Athens,² and to send to you Timothy our brother, a servant of God, and our assistant in the announcement of the Messiah; that he might strengthen you, and inquire of you respecting your faith:³ lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto.⁴ For also when we were with you, we forewarned you, that we were to be afflicted; as ye know did occur.⁵ Therefore also I could not be quiet, until I sent to learn your faith; lest the Tempter should have tempted you, and our labor have been in vain.
