But now Timothy has come to us from you and brought us good news about your faith and love and reported that you always have good memories of us, wanting to see us, as we also want to see you.

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

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

Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
