1 Thessalonians 3:6-13 - Timothy's Positive Report
6 But now when Timothy came from you to us and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us (as we also you), 7 then, my brothers, we were comforted over you, through your faith, even in all our affliction and needs; 8 for now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. 9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God, 10 night and day praying exceedingly for me to see your face and to perfect the things lacking in your faith?
11 And may God Himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way to you. 12 And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we also toward you, 13 in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
