5because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.
6And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,
7because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
8because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;
9for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?
10night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.
11And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you,
