  3:1
And because we could not endure, we were willing to be left at Athinos alone, |
|
3:1
And, because we could no longer endure it, we were willing to be left alone at Athens, |
|
3:2
and to send to you Timotheos our brother, a minister of Aloha and our helper in the gospel of the Meshiha, to fortify you, and inquire of you concerning your faith, |
|
3:2
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: |
|
3:3
that none of you should be slain through these afflictions; for you know that to this we are set. |
|
3:3
lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto. |
|
3:4
For while also we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted, as you know that it hath been. |
|
3:4
For also when we were with you, we forewarned you, that we were to be afflicted; as ye know did occur. |
|
3:5
On account of this also, I, not enduring until I had sent to know your faith, lest the tempter should tempt you, and we should have laboured in vain; |
|
3:5
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. |
|
3:6
but now when Timotheos came to us from among you, and gave us intelligence of your faith and of your love, and that you have a good remembrance of us in every season, and desire to see us as we also (to see) you; |
|
3:6
But now, since Timothy hath come to us from among you, and hath informed us respecting your faith and your love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us at all times, and that ye desire to see us, even as we [to see] you; |
|
3:7
on this account we were comforted in you, my brethren, in all our anxieties and our afflictions because of your faith. |
|
3:7
therefore we are comforted in you, my brethren, amid all our straits and afflictions, on account of your faith. |
|
3:8
And now we live, if you are established in our Lord. |
|
3:8
And now, we live, if ye stand fast in our Lord. |
|
3:9
For what thanks giving can we render on account of you to Aloha, over all the joy with which we rejoice on your behalf, |
|
3:9
For what thanks can we render to God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we are joyful on your account; |
|
3:10
unless before Aloha we supplicate exceedingly by night and by day to see your faces, and to perfect what is wanting to your faith? |
|
3:10
unless it be, that we the more supplicate before God, by night and by day, that we may see your faces, and may perfect what is lacking in your faith? |
|
3:11
But Aloha himself, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, will make straight our way to you, |
|
3:11
And may God our Father, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, direct our way unto you; |
|
3:12
and he will cause your love to increase to one another, and to every man, even as we love you; |
|
3:12
and increase and enlarge your love towards one another, and towards all men, even as we love you; |
|
3:13
and will establish your hearts without blame in holiness, before Aloha our Father, at the advent of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha with all his saints. |
|
3:13
and establish your hearts unblamable in holiness, before God our Father; at the advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, with all his saints. |
