1 Thessalonians 3:6-10
6But now that aTimothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of byour faith and love, and that you always cremember us kindly, longing to see us just as we also long to see you, 7for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; 8for now we really live, if you astand firm in the Lord. 9For awhat thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you, 10as we anight and day keep praying most earnestly that we may bsee your face, and may ccomplete what is lacking in your faith?
