1 Thessalonians 3 (CKJV)

¹ So when we could no longer stand it, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

² And sent Timotiyos, our brother, and minister of Elohim, and our fellow worker in the Good News of Mashiach, to establish you, and to encourage you concerning your faith:

³ That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

⁴ For truly, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and you know.

⁵ Because of this, when I could no longer bear it, I sent to know about your faith, lest by some means the tempter having tempted you, and our labor be in vain.

⁶ But now when Timotiyos came from you to us, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

⁷ Therefore, brethren, we were comforted because of you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

⁸ For now we live, if you stand fast in the Master.

⁹ For what thanks can we render to Elohim again for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sake before our Elohim;

¹⁰ Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now Elohim Himself and our Father, and our Master יֵשׁוּעַ HaMashiach, direct our way unto you.

¹² And the Master make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

¹³ To the end that He may establish your hearts blameless in set-apartness before Elohim, even our Father, at the coming of our Master Yeshua HaMashiach with all His set-apart ones.
