1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

NLT

NIV

3 and to keep you from being shaken by the troubles you were going through. But you know that we are destined for such troubles.
3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.
4 Even while we were with you, we warned you that troubles would soon come—and they did, as you well know.
4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.
5 That is why, when I could bear it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out whether your faith was still strong. I was afraid that the tempter had gotten the best of you and that our work had been useless.
5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.
