1 Thessalonians 3:5 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 3

3 a fim de que ninguém se abale por essas aflições; pois vós mesmos sabeis que para isso fomos destinados.

4 Pois quando ainda estávamos convosco vós dizíamos com antecedência que seríamos afligidos, como aconteceu, e vós sabeis.

5 Por isso, como não podia mais suportar, eu [o] enviei para saber de vossa fé. [Eu temia] que o tentador houvesse vos tentado, e o nosso trabalho houvesse sido inútil.

6 Mas agora, depois que Timóteo voltou a nós da vossa presença, e nos trouxe boas notícias da vossa fé e amor, e de como sempre tendes boa lembrança de nós, e desejais muito nos ver, como também nós a vós;

7 por isso, irmãos, ficamos consolados acerca de vós em toda a nossa aflição e necessidade, pela vossa fé.
