In context

2 We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

3 so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.

4 Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.

5 For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.

6 But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
