1 Thessalonians 3:4-5 | 1 Thessalonians 3:4-5 | 1 Thessalonians 3:4-5 | 1 Thessalonians 3:4-5 |
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know. |
4 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. |
4 For even when we were among you, we used to warn you in advance that we would undergo affliction, just as has happened, as you know. |
4 For most assuredly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know. |
5 For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain. |
5 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. |
5 For this reason, when I too could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had put you to the test and our toil might come to nothing. |
5 For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain. |
