1 THESSALONIANS 3:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:”
And we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith — Timothy is commended with the highest honor: 'God's coworker' (synergos tou theou), standing alongside Paul in the divine work. He is sent not to govern but to establish (stērizo, to firm up) and exhort (parakaleo, to encourage); his task is pastoral stabilization. The gospel mission requires delegation and apostolic confidence.
