1 Thessalonians 3:4 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 3

2 nous envoyâmes Timothée, notre frère, ministre de Dieu dans l’Évangile de Christ, pour vous affermir et vous exhorter au sujet de votre foi,

3 afin que personne ne fût ébranlé au milieu des tribulations présentes; car vous savez vous-mêmes que nous sommes destinés à cela.

4 Et lorsque nous étions auprès de vous, nous vous annoncions d’avance que nous serions exposés à des tribulations, comme cela est arrivé, et comme vous le savez.

5 Ainsi, dans mon impatience, j’envoyai m’informer de votre foi, dans la crainte que le tentateur ne vous eût tentés, et que nous n’eussions travaillé en vain.

6 Mais Timothée, récemment arrivé ici de chez vous, nous a donné de bonnes nouvelles de votre foi et de votre charité, et nous a dit que vous avez toujours de nous un bon souvenir, désirant nous voir comme nous désirons aussi vous voir.
