1 Thessalonians 3:5-8

Haweis(i) 5 For this cause also, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your fidelity, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain. 6 But now when Timothy returned to us from you, and brought us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye retain a kind remembrance of us always, earnestly desirous to see us, as we are also to see you: 7 for this cause we have felt consolation, brethren, in you under all our tribulation and distress, because of your fidelity. 8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
