1 Thessalonians 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 We couldn't wait any longer. So we thought it was best to be left by ourselves in Athens.

2 We sent our brother Timothy to give you strength and hope in your faith. He works together with God in spreading the good news about Christ.

3 We sent him so that no one would be upset by times of testing. You know very well that we have to go through them.

4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that our enemies would make us suffer. As you know very well, it has turned out that way.

5 That's the reason I sent someone to find out about your faith. I couldn't wait any longer. I was afraid that Satan might have tempted you in some way. Then our efforts would have been useless.

6 But Timothy has come to us from you just now. He has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have happy memories of us. He has also said that you long to see us, just as we long to see you.

7 Brothers and sisters, in all our trouble and suffering your faith cheered us up.

8 Now we really live, because you are standing firm in the Lord.

9 How can we thank God enough for you because of all the joy that comes only from our God?

10 Night and day we pray very hard that we will see you again. We want to give you what is missing in your faith.

11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus open up a way for us to come to you.

12 May the Lord make your love grow. May it be like a rising flood. May your love for one another increase. May it also increase for everyone else. May it be just like our love for you.

13 May the Lord give you strength in your hearts. Then you will be holy and without blame in the sight of our God and Father. May that be true when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 propter quod non sustinentes amplius placuit nobis remanere Athenis solis

2 et misimus Timotheum fratrem nostrum et ministrum Dei in evangelio Christi ad confirmandos vos et exhortandos pro fide vestra

3 ut nemo moveatur in tribulationibus istis ipsi enim scitis quod in hoc positi sumus

4 nam et cum apud vos essemus praedicebamus vobis passuros nos tribulationes sicut et factum est et scitis

5 propterea et ego amplius non sustinens misi ad cognoscendam fidem vestram ne forte temptaverit vos is qui temptat et inanis fiat labor noster

6 nunc autem veniente Timotheo ad nos a vobis et adnuntiante nobis fidem et caritatem vestram et quia memoriam nostri habetis bonam semper desiderantes nos videre sicut nos quoque vos

7 ideo consolati sumus fratres in vobis in omni necessitate et tribulatione nostra per vestram fidem

8 quoniam nunc vivimus si vos statis in Domino

9 quam enim gratiarum actionem possumus Deo retribuere pro vobis in omni gaudio quo gaudemus propter vos ante Deum nostrum

10 nocte et die abundantius orantes ut videamus faciem vestram et conpleamus ea quae desunt fidei vestrae

11 ipse autem Deus et Pater noster et Dominus Iesus dirigat viam nostram ad vos

12 vos autem Dominus multiplicet et abundare faciat caritatem in invicem et in omnes quemadmodum et nos in vobis

13 ad confirmanda corda vestra sine querella in sanctitate ante Deum et Patrem nostrum in adventu Domini nostri Iesu cum omnibus sanctis eius amen
