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?

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?
