1 Thessalonians 3:7-10

for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
