1 Thessalonians 3:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.(A) 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.
6 But just now Timothy has returned to us from you, bringing us the good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us and long to see us as we long to see you.
