Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, - in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;

But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, - and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us, - even as, we also, to see you,

Because, now, we live, - if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord.

Now may, our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus, make straight our way unto you:

Now we request you, brethren, - to know them who are toiling among you, and presiding over you, in the Lord, and admonishing you;
