1 Thessalonians 3:7-13

7for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; 8for now we really live, if you 1stand firm in the Lord. 9For 2what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account, 10as we 3night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may 4see your face, and may 5complete what is lacking in your faith?

11 6Now may 7our God and Father 8Himself and Jesus our Lord 9direct our way to you; 12and may the Lord cause you to increase and 10abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; 13so that He may 11establish your hearts 12without blame in holiness before 13our God and Father at the 14 15coming of our Lord Jesus 16with all His 17saints.
