1 Thessalonians 3:7-10

7 Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution

we were encouraged about you because of your faith.

8 For now, we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy

we have in the presence of our God because of you?

10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see

you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
