1 Thessalonians · Πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς Αʹ

1 Thessalonians 3:5

Διὰ τοῦτο κἀγώ, μηκέτι στέγων, ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν, μήπως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς ὁ πειράζων, καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται ὁ κόπος ἡμῶν.
King James Version (KJV)

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

Modern English

For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.

Greek

Διὰ τοῦτο κἀγώ, μηκέτι στέγων, ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν, μήπως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς πειράζων, καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται κόπος ἡμῶν.

Dia toyto kagō, mēketi stegōn, epempsa eis to gnōnai tēn pistin ymōn, mēpōs epeirasen ymas o peirazōn, kai eis kenon genētai o kopos ēmōn.
