1 # Wherefore <1352> when we could <4722> <0> no longer <3371> forbear <4722> (5723), we thought it good <2106> (5656) to be left <2641> (5683) at <1722> Athens <116> alone <3441>;
2 And <2532> sent <3992> (5656) Timotheus <5095>, our <2257> brother <80>, and <2532> minister <1249> of God <2316>, and <2532> our <2257> fellowlabourer <4904> in <1722> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>, to <1519> establish <4741> (5658) you <5209>, and <2532> to comfort <3870> (5658) you <5209> concerning <4012> your <5216> faith <4102>:
3 That no man <3367> should be moved <4525> (5745) by <1722> these <5025> afflictions <2347>: for <1063> yourselves <846> know <1492> (5758) that <3754> we are appointed <2749> (5736) thereunto <1519> <5124>.
4 For <1063> verily <2532>, when <3753> we were <2258> (5713) with <4314> you <5209>, we told <4302> <0> you <5213> before <4302> (5707) that <3754> we should <3195> (5719) suffer tribulation <2346> (5745); even <2532> as <2531> it came to pass <1096> (5633), and <2532> ye know <1492> (5758).
5 For this <5124> cause <1223>, when I <2504> could <4722> <0> no longer <3371> forbear <4722> (5723), I sent <3992> (5656) to <1519> know <1097> (5629) your <5216> faith <4102>, lest by some means <3381> <4458> the tempter <3985> (5723) have tempted <3985> (5707) you <5209>, and <2532> our <2257> labour <2873> be <1096> (5638) in <1519> vain <2756>.
6 # But <1161> now <737> when Timotheus <5095> came <2064> (5631) from <575> you <5216> unto <4314> us <2248>, and <2532> brought <2097> <0> us <2254> good tidings <2097> (5671) of your <5216> faith <4102> and <2532> charity <26>, and <2532> that <3754> ye have <2192> (5719) good <18> remembrance <3417> of us <2257> always <3842>, desiring greatly <1971> (5723) to see <1492> (5629) us <2248>, as <2509> we <2249> also <2532> to see you <5209>:
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE
7 Therefore <1223> <5124>, brethren <80>, we were comforted <3870> (5681) over <1909> you <5213> in <1909> all <3956> our <2257> affliction <2347> and <2532> distress <318> by <1223> your <5216> faith <4102>:
8 For <3754> now <3568> we live <2198> (5719), if <1437> ye <5210> stand fast <4739> (5725) in <1722> the Lord <2962>.
9 For <1063> what <5101> thanks <2169> can we <1410> (5736) render <467> <0> to God <2316> again <467> (5629) for <4012> you <5216>, for <1909> all <3956> the joy <5479> wherewith <3739> we joy <5463> (5719) for <1223> your sakes <5209> before <1715> our <2257> God <2316>;
10 Night <3571> and <2532> day <2250> praying <1189> (5740) exceedingly <1537> <4053> <5228> that <1519> we might see <1492> (5629) your <5216> face <4383>, and <2532> might perfect <2675> (5658) that which is lacking <5303> in your <5216> faith <4102>?
11 # Now <1161> God <2316> himself <846> and <2532> our <2257> Father <3962>, and <2532> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, direct <2720> (5659) our <2257> way <3598> unto <4314> you <5209>.
12 And <1161> the Lord <2962> make <4121> <0> you <5209> to increase <4121> (5659) and <2532> abound <4052> (5659) in love <26> one <240> <0> toward <1519> another <240>, and <2532> toward <1519> all <3956> men, even <2532> as <2509> we <2249> do toward <1519> you <5209>:
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE
13 To the end <1519> he may stablish <4741> (5658) your <5216> hearts <2588> unblameable <273> in <1722> holiness <42> before <1715> God <2316>, even <2532> our <2257> Father <3962>, at <1722> the coming <3952> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> with <3326> all <3956> his <846> saints <40>.
