1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
Good News Translation
9 Now we can give thanks to our God for you. We thank him for the joy we have in his presence because of you. 10 Day and night we ask him with all our heart to let us see you personally and supply what is needed in your faith.
11 May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus prepare the way for us to come to you! 12 May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow more and more and become as great as our love for you. 13 In this way he will strengthen you, and you will be perfect and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all who belong to him.[a]

9 How can we thank God enough for you(A) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(B) 10 Night and day we pray(C) most earnestly that we may see you again(D) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(E) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(F) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(G) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(H) when our Lord Jesus comes(I) with all his holy ones.(J)
1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
King James Version
9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
