But Timothy has just now returned from visiting you and has told us the good news about your faith and love. He also told us that you always have fond memories of us and want to see us, just as we want to see you.

For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father and our Lord Jesus provide a way for us to visit you.

Now then, brothers, you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, as in fact you are doing. We ask and encourage you in the Lord to do so even more.

Now you do not need anyone to write to you about brotherly love, since you have been taught by God to love each other.

Now you do not need to have anything written to you about times and dates, brothers,
