1 Thessalonians 3:6-9

6But Timotheus having just come to us from you, and brought to us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have always good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, even as we also you;

7for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith,

8because now we live if ye stand firm in [the] Lord.

9For what thanksgiving can we render to 1God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our 2God,
