1 Tesalonicenses 3

Car aussi, quand nous étions auprès de vous, nous vous avons dit d’avance que nous aurions à subir des tribulations, comme cela est aussi arrivé, et comme vous le savez.

Que aun estando con vosotros, os predecíamos que habíamos de pasar tribulaciones, como ha acontecido y sabéis.

For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
