| [1]And because not we resisted we chose to remain in Athenos by ourselves |
[1]AND because we could no longer with stand these obstacles, we decided to remain at Athens alone; |
| [2]And we sent to you Timotheos our brother and a minister of Alaha and our helper in the Good News of The Messiah that he may strengthen you and inquire of you concerning your faith |
[2]And send Ti-mo'the-us, our brother, a minister of God, and our helper in the gospel of Christ, to sustain you and comfort you concerning your faith: |
| [3]Lest a man of you should lose hope to him by suffering such things you for aware are that for this it is we are appointed |
[3]So that no man among you might be disheartened by these tribulations: for you, yourselves, know that this is our destiny. |
| [4]Also when with you we were for we before we said to you that we would be persecuted just as know you it was |
[4]For verily when we were with you, we told you before, that we should suffer tribulations; even as it has come to pass, and as you know. |
| [5]Because of this also I not I restrained so that I sent to know your faith lest would tempt you The Tempter and would be our labor worthless |
[5]For this reason also, when I could no longer wait, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor was in vain. |
| [6]Now but since has come to us Timotheos from your midst and he gave us good news concerning your faith and about your love and that there is to you our commemoration good in every place and desire you to see us just as that also we you |
[6]But now since Ti-mo'the-us has returned to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, just as we also long to see you: |
| [7]Because of this we were comforted by you brethren over all our adversities and our afflictions because of your faith |
[7]Therefore, our brethren, we have been comforted by you, in the midst of all our distress and tribulations because of your faith: |
| [8]And now it is we live if you will abide in our Lord |
[8]Now we can live happily, if you stand firm in our LORD. |
| [9]What? for thanks can we pay on your behalf to Alaha for every joy with which we rejoice because of you |
[9]What thanks can we offer to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes, |
| [10]Except that before Alaha all the more we pray earnestly by night and by day to see your faces and perfect whatever is lacking in your faith |
[10]Except, before God to abundantly offer supplication, night and day, to see your faces, and to complete that which is lacking in your faith? |
| [11]He but Alaha our Father and our Lord Ieshu The Messiah shall direct our way to you |
[11]Now may God, our Father, and our LORD Jesus Christ, direct our journey unto you, |
| [12]And may He multiply and increase your love of one to another and that to every person just as we we love you |
[12]And may the LORD increase and enrich your love toward one another and toward all men, even as we love you: |
| [13]And may He establish your hearts without fault in holiness before Alaha our Father at the arrival of our Lord Ieshu The Messiah Who is with all of them His holy ones |
[13]And may he strengthen your hearts to be without blemish in holiness before God our Father, at the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ with all his saints. |
