Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing dto be left behind at Athens alone, 2 and we esent Timothy, four brother and God’s coworker1 in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith, 3 that no one be moved by these afflictions.
For you yourselves know that gwe are destined for this. 4 For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, hjust as it has come to pass, and just as you know. 5 For this reason, iwhen I could bear it no longer, iI sent to learn about your faith, jfor fear that somehow kthe tempter had tempted you and lour labor would be in vain.

6 But mnow that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of nyour faith and love and reported othat you always remember us kindly and plong to see us, as we long to see you— 7 for this reason, brothers,2 in all our distress and affliction qwe have been comforted about you through your faith.
8 For now we live, if you rare standing fast in the Lord.

The Thessalonians were standing firm in spite of suffering, and because they were, Paul was comforted and thankful.
I note here that Paul did not focus on the suffering itself, but rather the church’s response to the suffering!
In 1 Thess 3:4 Paul shows that he had warned them that suffering was coming; that suffering was to be expected.
