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

⁶ But Timothy, having already come to us from you, and proclaimed to us the good news of your faith and your divine love, and that you always have a good mention of us, longing to see us, as we do to see you; ⁷ therefore we were comforted, brethren, over you in all our distress and tribulation on account of your faith; ⁸ because we now live, if you stand in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks are we able to render unto God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we rejoice on account of you before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?

¹¹ But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you: ¹² and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you; ¹³ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.
