English Standard Version
Timothy's Encouraging Report
6 But (A)now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of (B)your faith and love and reported (C)that you always remember us kindly and (D)long to see us, as we long to see you— 7 for this reason, brothers,[a] in all our distress and affliction (E)we have been comforted about you through your faith. 8 For now we live, if you (F)are standing fast in the Lord. 9 For (G)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 (H)night and day (I)that we may see you face to face and (J)supply what is lacking in your faith?

Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians
6 Now Timothy has returned to us from you and has given us good news about your faithfulness and love! He says that you always have good memories about us and that you want to see us as much as we want to see you. 7 Because of this, brothers and sisters, we were encouraged in all our distress and trouble through your faithfulness. 8 For now we are alive if you are standing your ground in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you, given all the joy we have because of you before our God? 10 Night and day, we pray more than ever to see all of you in person and to complete whatever you still need for your faith.
