1 Thessalonians 3:7-9

New King James Version

⁷ therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress ^(A)we were comforted concerning you by your faith. ⁸ For now we live, if you ^(B)stand fast in the Lord.

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,
