1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

3 We didn't want any of you to be shaken by these problems. You know very well that we were meant to go through this.

4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept on predicting that we were going to face problems exactly like what happened, as you know.

5 That's why I sent Timothy to find out about your faithfulness when I couldn't stand it anymore. I was worried that the tempter might have tempted you so that our work would have been a waste of time.

New International Version NIV

3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.

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 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.
