1 Thessalonians 3:3-5

Riverside(i) 3 that no one might be disturbed in these trials. For you yourselves know that we are destined to this. 4 For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know. 5 Therefore, when I could no longer endure the anxiety, I sent to know about your faith for fear that the tempter had tempted you and our labor had gone for nothing.
