1 Thessalonians 3:6-9
3:6 But now Timothy has come to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection and long to see us just as we also long to see you!
3:7 So in all our distress and affliction, we were reassured about you, brothers and sisters, through your faith.
3:8 For now we are alive again, if you stand firm in the Lord.
3:9 For how can we thank God enough for you, for all the joy we feel because of you before our God?
