8 Bible Verses about Affection, Of Paul For The Church

For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

My children -- I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you!

Apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxious concern for all the churches.

Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort provided by love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any affection or mercy, complete my joy and be of the same mind, by having the same love, being united in spirit, and having one purpose.

although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became little children among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children, with such affection for you we were happy to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

For this reason I kneel before the Father,

We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you in my prayers.
