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

⁶ But, Timothy having just now come to us from you, and having brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us at all times, longing to see us, as we also to see you??7 for this reason, brethren, we were comforted over you, in all our tribulation and distress, through your faith; ⁸ because now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render again to God concerning you for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on your account before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies 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 make you increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, as we also do toward you, ¹³ to the end that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
