1 Thessalonians 3:5-7
International Children’s Bible
5 This is why I sent Timothy to you, so that I could know about your faith. I sent him when I could not wait any longer. I was afraid that the devil had tempted you, and perhaps our hard work would have been wasted.
6 But Timothy now has come back to us from you and has brought us good news about your faith and love. He told us that you always remember us in a good way. He told us that you want to see us just as much as we want to see you. 7 So, brothers, we are comforted about you, because of your faith. We have much trouble and suffering, but still we are comforted.
