4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.
5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
— 1 Thessalonians 3:4-5
