| 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? |
| 3:11 | Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. |
| 3:12 | And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: |
| 3:13 | To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. |
| 3:13 | 好使你們、當我們主耶穌同他眾聖徒來的時候、在我們父 神面前、心裡堅固、成為聖潔、無可責備。 |
| 3:13 | 好使你们，当我们主耶稣同他众圣徒来的时候，在我们父神面前，心里坚固，成为圣洁，无可责备。 |
| 1ts:2:19 | For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
| 1ts:3:11 | Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. |
| jas:5:8 | Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. |
| 1pe:5:10 | But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. |
| 1co:1:8 | Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| col:1:22 | In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: |
