1 Thessalonians 3:5-6

3:5 So ¹  when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

3:6 But now Timothy has come ²  to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection ³  and long to see us just as we also long to see you! ⁴ 

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “for this reason.”

[3:6]  ² tn Grk “but now Timothy having come,” a subordinate clause leading to the main clause of v. 7.

[3:6]  ³ tn Grk “you have a good remembrance of us always.”

[3:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “just as also we you.”
