But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,

for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;

Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
