1 So, when we could no longer stand it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and servant of Elohim, and our fellow worker in the Good News of Messiah, to establish you and encourage you concerning your belief,
3 that no one should be unsettled by these pressures, for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
4 For indeed, we did inform you beforehand, when we were with, you that we would suffer pressure, and so it came to be, as you know.
5 Because of this, when I could no longer stand it, I sent to find out about your belief, lest the trying one might have tried you, and our labour should be in vain.
