1. Tessalonikerbrev 3,2

1 Derfor, da vi ikke lenger kunne holde det ut, bestemte vi oss for å bli igjen alene i Athen,

og vi sendte Timoteus, vår bror og medarbeider i å spre Kristi evangelium, for å støtte og oppmuntre dere i deres tro,

3 slik at ingen skulle bli urolige av disse trengslene; for dere vet selv at vi var ment for dette.

4 For selv da vi var hos dere, advarte vi dere stadig om at vi skulle møte motgang; og det skjedde, som dere vet.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
