6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you and brought us the good news of your faithfulness and love, and that you always have good memories of us, longing to see us just as we long to see you—
7 because of this, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and trouble, we were comforted about you by your faithfulness.
8 For now we live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
9 For what thanks would be enough to offer to God, in return for all the joy we feel before our God because of you?
10 Night time and day time we keep praying more than ever to see you face to face, and mend any shortcomings in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father Himself and Yeshua our Lord direct our way to you.
12 May the Lord also cause you to increase and overflow in love for one another and for all people, just as we also do for you,
