And brought

Good news from a distant land
is like cold water to a parched throat.

How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the herald,
who proclaims peace,
who brings news of good things,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

In fact, when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest. Instead, we were troubled in every way: conflicts on the outside, fears inside.

Faith

Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints

We must always thank God for you, brothers. This is right, since your faith is flourishing and the love each one of you has for one another is increasing.

Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

because I hear of your love and faith toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints.

Now this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as He commanded us.

And that

We recall, in the presence of our God and Father, your work of faith, labor of love, and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,

For you remember our labor and hardship, brothers. Working night and day so that we would not burden any of you, we preached God’s gospel to you.

Now I praise you because you always remember me and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.

Desiring

How can we thank God for you in return for all the joy we experience before our God because of you,

But as for us, brothers, after we were forced to leave you for a short time (in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

For God is my witness, how deeply I miss all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
