1 Thessalonians 3:6-8

And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also to see you,

because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;
