1 Thessalonians 3:7-13

7for this reason, brothers and sisters, 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 give to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God, 10as we 3keep praying most earnestly night and day that we may 4see your faces, and may 5complete what is lacking in your faith?

11 6Now may 7our God and Father 8Himself, and our Lord Jesus, 9direct our way to you; 12and may the Lord cause you to increase and 10overflow in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; 13so that He may 11establish your hearts 12blameless in holiness before 13our God and Father at the 14 15coming of our Lord Jesus 16with all His 17saints.
