Upon hearing about the hardships of his brothers in Thessalonica, Paul sent Timothy to ‘ make them firm and comfort them, that no one might be swayed by tribulations. ’ ​ — 1 Thessalonians 3: 1 - 3.
Kuulnud Tessaloonika vendade raskustest, saatis Paulus Timoteose ’ neid kinnitama ja julgustama, et ükski ei lööks kõikuma viletsustes ’.
