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

⁶ But now, [because] Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that {you always think kindly of us}, desiring to see us just as also we [desire to see] you, ⁷ because of this, brothers, we have been comforted because of you in all our distress and affliction through your faith, ⁸ because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we repay to God concerning you, because of all the joy [with] which we rejoice because of you before our God, ¹⁰ night and day praying beyond all measure that [we] may see your face and complete what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now [may] our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you, ¹² and [may] the Lord [cause] you to increase and to abound in love for one another and for all, just as also we [do] for you, ¹³ so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
