King James Version with Apocrypha
"Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;"
— 1 Thessalonians 3:1, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;”
“Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone; ”
“Therefore, when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,”
“So when we could bear it no longer, we decided to stay on in Athens alone.”
“For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone.”
“At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,”
Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
