The Message
1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
The Message
9-10 What would be an adequate thanksgiving to offer God for all the joy we experience before him because of you? We do what we can, praying away, night and day, asking for the bonus of seeing your faces again and doing what we can to help when your faith falters.
11-13 May God our Father himself and our Master Jesus clear the road to you! And may the Master pour on the love so it fills your lives and splashes over on everyone around you, just as it does from us to you. May you be infused with strength and purity, filled with confidence in the presence of God our Father when our Master Jesus arrives with all his followers.

1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
New International Version
9 How can we thank God enough for you(A) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(B) 10 Night and day we pray(C) most earnestly that we may see you again(D) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(E) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(F) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(G) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(H) when our Lord Jesus comes(I) with all his holy ones.(J)
