1 Thessalonians 3:7-10

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,

10night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
