1 Thessalonians 3:6-13 - Timothy's Positive Report
6 But now Timothy having come to us from you and told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we also you, 7 therefore we were comforted, brothers, on your account in all our affliction and distress by your faith, 8 for now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord. 9 For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God, 10 desiring exceedingly, night and day, to see your face, and to perfect what is lacking of your faith?
11 And may God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you; 12 and the Lord cause you to be full and abound with love one to another and to all men, as we also to you, 13 to confirm your hearts without blame in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
