1 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
1 Thessalonians
Paul says he sent Timothy “to establish and exhort you in your faith” (1 Thessalonians 3:2). He explains the aim was that no one would be shaken by afflictions, since they had been told suffering would come (1 Thessalonians 3:3–4).
2and sent Timothy, our brother and God`s servant in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;
3that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
4For most assuredly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
