1 Thessalonians 3:8-12

for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

For what thanks can we give to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God,

as we keep praying most earnestly night and day that we may see your faces, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

and may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;
