1 Thessalonians 3:6-10 But now Timothy has returned to us from you and brought us good news about your faith and love, and reported that you have good memories of us. He told us that you are longing to see us, just as we also long to see you.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But now Timothy has returned to us from you and brought us good news about your faith and love, and [reported] that you have good memories of us. [He told us that you are] longing to see us, just as we also long to see you. ⁷ So, brothers, through all of our distress and persecution, we were encouraged over you because of your faith, ⁸ for now we [really] live, if you [continue to] stand firm in [the service of] the Lord [i.e., Paul could enjoy life much more in knowing that the Thessalonians were living for the Lord faithfully]. ⁹ For how can we thank God [enough] for you, in return for all the joy we have over you, in the presence of our God? ¹⁰ Night and day we pray very earnestly that we will be able to see you in person, so we can provide what is lacking in your faith.
