The Model of Brotherhood and His Sanctification
sending of Timotheos and prayers for believers
3:1 Wherefore when we could no longer endure, we thought it good to remain in Athenai alone;
3:2 And sent Timotheos, acheinu (our brother), and a servant of Elohim, and our fellow labourer in the Good News of Mashiach, to strengthen you, and to inquire from you concerning your faith:
3:3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereto.
3:4 For truly, when we were with you, we told you before that we would be afflicted; even as it came to pass, and you know.
3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer endure, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
3:6 But now when Timotheos came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and ahavah, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see] you:
3:7 Therefore, our achim, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
3:8 For now we live, if you stand fast in Adoneinu.
3:9 For what thanks can we render to Elohim again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our Elohim;
3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
3:11 Now may Eloheinu and Avinu Himself, and Adoneinu Yeshua (ישוע) ha Mashiach, direct our way to you.
3:12 And Master make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all [men], even as we [do] toward you:
3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts blameless in set apartness before Elohim, even Avinu, at the coming of Adoneinu Yeshua (ישוע) Mashiach with all His set apart ones.
