Encouraged by Timothy
6 But now Timothy has come to us(A) from you and brought us good news about your faith and love. He reported that you always have good memories of us and that you long to see us, as we also long to see you.(B) 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and affliction, we were encouraged about you through your faith. 8 For now we live, if you stand firm(C) in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God for you in return for all the joy(D) we experience before our God because of you, 10 as we pray very earnestly night and day to see you face to face(E) and to complete what is lacking in your faith?(F)

Timothy’s Positive Report
6 But now, because[a] Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us[b], desiring to see us just as also we desire to see you, 7 because of this, brothers, we have been comforted because of you in all our distress and affliction through your faith, 8 because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord. 9 For what thanks can we repay to God concerning you, because of all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God, 10 night and day praying beyond all measure that we may see your face and complete what is lacking in your faith?
