1 Thessalonians 3:6-8

But now Timothy has come to us from you, bringing good news about your trust and love, and telling us that you remember us well and are always longing to see us, just as we long to see you.

Because of this, brothers, in spite of all our trouble and distress, we were comforted over you — because of your trust;

so that now we are alive; since you continue to stand fast, united with the Lord.
