1 Thessalonians 3:6-13 - Timothy's Positive Report
6 But now when Timotheus was come to us from you, and had brought us the good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also to see you: 7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you, in, all our affliction and distress by your faith. 8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sake before our God? 10 Night and day praying exceedingly, that we may see your face, and perfect that which is wanting in your faith.
11 Now our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way unto you. 12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love towards one another and towards all men, as we also do towards you, 13 That he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness (before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ) with all his saints.
