1 Thessalonians 3:6-13 - Timothy's Positive Report

⁶ But now of Timothy, having come to us from you, and having proclaimed good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye always have a good recollection of us, longing to see us, just as we also you, ⁷ because of this, brothers, we were encouraged toward you in all our affliction and necessity through your faith. ⁸ Because now we live, if ye stand firm in Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we repay God about you, for all the joy in which we rejoiced because of you before our God, ¹⁰ praying night and day above extraordinary in order to see your face and to mend the deficiencies of your faith?

¹¹ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. ¹² And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward each other, and toward all men, just as also we toward you, ¹³ in order to establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his sanctified.
