The logical main point of ch. 3 is technically the prayer of vv. 11-13 that Paul prays in response to the good report of Timothy about the church. But v. 8 captures the heart-beat of this chapter as Paul unveils for us the true heart of a pastor, a heart that longs continually to build up the faith of the church. Verse 8 (For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord) is the ground of Paul's desperate desire to see the church and hear about their faith even at great personal cost (vv. 1-5), it is the reason why Timothy's report of the church brings such deep comfort (vv. 6-7), and it is the basis of his pastoral prayer in vv. 11-13. Paul's whole life as a pastor is bound up with the church's enduring faith in the Lord- that above all is what he labors for, suffers for, hopes for, and prays toward.

1 Thessalonians

1 Thessalonians 3:1-13

NT

tisch

esv

διὸ μηκέτι στέγοντες

Therefore when we could bear it no longer,

εὐδοκήσαμεν καταλειφθῆναι ἐν Ἀθήναις μόνοι

we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

temporal

καὶ ἐπέμψαμεν Τιμόθεον τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ συνεργὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ

and [so] we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ,

εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμᾶς

to establish

καὶ παρακαλέσαι ὑπὲρ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν

and exhort you in your faith,

actionpurpose

τὸ μηδένα σαίνεσθαι ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσιν ταύταις

that no one be moved by these afflictions.

αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο κείμεθα

For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.

καὶ γὰρ ὅτε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἦμεν

For when we were with you,

προελέγομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι μέλλομεν θλίβεσθαι

we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction,

καθὼς καὶ ἐγένετο

just as it has come to pass,

καὶ οἴδατε

and just as you know.

ground

διὰ τοῦτο κἀγὼ μηκέτι στέγων

For this reason, when I could bear it no longer,

ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν

I sent to learn about your faith,

μή πως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς ὁ πειράζων

for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you

καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται ὁ κόπος ἡμῶν

and our labor would be in vain.

ἄρτι δὲ ἐλθόντος Τιμοθέου πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφ' ὑμῶν

But now that Timothy has come to us from you,

καὶ εὐαγγελισαμένο ἡμῖν τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν καὶ ὅτι ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴν πάντοτε ἐπιποθοῦντες ἡμᾶς ἰδεῖν καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς

and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you--

διὰ τοῦτο παρεκλήθημεν ἀδελφοί ἐφ' ὑμῖν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἀνάγκῃ καὶ θλίψει ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν πίστεως

for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.

concessive

ὅτι νῦν ζῶμεν

For now we live,

ἐὰν ὑμεῖς στήκετε ἐν κυρίῳ

if you are standing fast in the Lord.

conditional

τίνα γὰρ εὐχαριστίαν δυνάμεθα τῷ θεῷ ἀνταποδοῦναι περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ χαρᾷ ᾗ χαίρομεν δι' ὑμᾶς ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν

For we cannot fully return to God thanksgiving for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,

νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ δεόμενοι

as we pray most earnestly night and day

εἰς τὸ ἰδεῖν ὑμῶν τὸ πρόσωπον

that we may see you face to face

καὶ καταρτίσαι τὰ ὑστερήματα τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν

and supply what is lacking in your faith.

αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ ἡμῶν καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς κατευθύναι τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,

ὑμᾶς δὲ ὁ κύριος πλεονάσαι καὶ περισσεύσαι τῇ ἀγάπῃ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας

and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all,

καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

as we do for you,

εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας ἀμέμπτους ἐν ἁγιωσύνῃ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν

so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father,

ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων αὐτοῦ ἀμήν

at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
