King James Version with Apocrypha
"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."
— 1 Thessalonians 3:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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.”

Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
