1Thess. 3
Apostles carry out oversight work on the churches in spite of the risks
1 Because of this, I could no longer hide, being well-pleased to be left alone in Athen (Capitol of Greece),
2 so, we dispatch (Letter) by Timothy, our brother, and fellow-worker of God, in the Gospel of Christ, to support/set you resolutely fast in one direction, and to encourage you concerning your faith,
3 nobody was shaken by those tribulations, because they also knew that we are lying outstretched unto these.
4 For, even, while we were with you, we told you before, that we are about to be afflicted, just as it happened, and you have known.
5 By this reason, even I could no longer cover up/forbear, to dispatch (letter) unto you, on how much you should know of Faith, and not to be tempted by tempters, and our labor unto you would become vain.
6 Moreover, from now, Timothy will be going from us towards you, even as we have preached the good news of Faith, and selfless-Love to you; that you will have a good remembrance of us always having craved to see us even exactly as we (do) for you
7 brethren, by this reason, you will be exhorted upon all your needs, on account of Faith and upon our tribulations.
8 Because, in case you stand firm in the Lord now, you will live on.
9 for HOW MUCH gratitude can we reciprocate to God for you, upon all the joy which we have rejoiced because of you, before our God-
10 - even as we earnestly pray more exceedingly, nights and days, unto seeing your face, to prepare/mend your deficit of Faith?
Paul want the Church to do more of Selfless Love
11 however, for us, he will direct/guide you towards the Way of our Lord Jesus and our FATHER God.
12 So, as you do more for the Lord, superabound in selfless-Love unto one another, and unto everybody, exactly as we (do) unto you,
13 to the intent of setting your hearts resolutely fast in one direction, blameless in sacredness (hagiosyne) before God and our FATHER, at the return of our Lord, Jesus, amid all His Holy ones.
