1 Thessalonians 3:6-10
New English Translation

6 But now Timothy has come[a] to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection[b] and long to see us just as we also long to see you![c] 7 So[d] in all our distress and affliction, we were reassured about you, brothers and sisters,[e] through your faith. 8 For now we are alive again,[f] if you stand firm in the Lord. 9 For how can we thank God enough for you,[g] for all the joy we feel[h] because of you before our God? 10 We pray earnestly night and day to see you in person[i] and make up what may be 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?
