[2] And  sent  Timotheus,  brother,  and  of God,  and  fellowlabourer  in  the gospel  of Christ,  to  establish  and  to comfort  faith:  [3] That no man  should be moved  by  afflictions:  for  yourselves  know  that  we are appointed  thereunto.  [4] For  verily,  when  with  before  that  we should  suffer tribulation;  even  as  it came to pass,  and  ye know.  [5] cause,  when I  no longer  forbear,  I sent  to  know  faith,  the tempter  and  labour  be  in  vain.  [6] But  now  when Timotheus  came  from  unto  and  good tidings  faith  and  charity,  and  that  ye have  good  remembrance  always,  desiring greatly  as  also  [7] Therefore,  brethren,  we were comforted  over  all  affliction  and  distress  by  faith:  [8] For  now  we live,  if  stand fast  in  the Lord.
