1 Thessalonians 3:6-10

New International Reader's Version

Timothy Brings a Good Report

⁶ But Timothy has come to us from you just now. He has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have happy memories of us. He has also said that you desire to see us, just as we desire to see you. ⁷ Brothers and sisters, in all our trouble and suffering your faith encouraged us. ⁸ Now we really live, because you are standing firm in the Lord. ⁹ How can we thank God enough for you? We thank God because of all the joy we have in his presence. We have this joy because of you. ¹⁰ Night and day we pray very hard that we will see you again. We want to give you what is missing in your faith.
