3:1 | Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; |
3:2 | And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: |
3:3 | That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. |
3:4 | 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. |
3:5 | 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. |
3:6 | But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: |
3:7 | Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: |
3:8 | For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. |
3:9 | For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; |
3:10 | Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? |
3:10 | 我們晝夜切切的祈求、要見你們的面、補滿你們信心的不足。 |
3:10 | 我们昼夜切切的祈求,要见你们的面,补满你们信心的不足。 |
act:26:7 | Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. |
2ti:1:4 | Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; |
rom:1:11 | For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; |
1ts:2:17 | But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. |
col:4:12 | Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. |
