1 Thessalonians 3:5 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 3
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.
7 En conséquence, frères, au milieu de toutes nos calamités et de nos tribulations, nous avons été consolés à votre sujet, à cause de votre foi.
