1 Thessalonians 3:7-13

English Standard Version

⁷ for this reason, brothers,^[a] in all our distress and affliction ^(A)we have been comforted about you through your faith. ⁸ For now we live, if you ^(B)are standing fast in the Lord. ⁹ For ^(C)what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, ¹⁰ as we pray most earnestly ^(D)night and day ^(E)that we may see you face to face and ^(F)supply what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Now may ^(G)our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, ^(H)direct our way to you, ¹² and may the Lord ^(I)make you increase and abound in love ^(J)for one another and for all, as we do for you, ¹³ so that he may ^(K)establish your hearts blameless in holiness before ^(L)our God and Father, at ^(M)the coming of our Lord Jesus ^(N)with all his saints.
