With
All
His Saints
For this reason, brothers and sisters,
during all our distress and persecution we have been encouraged about you
through your faith. For we now live, if you continue to stand firm in the Lord.
How can we thank God enough for you in return for all
the joy that we feel about our God because of you? Night and day we pray most
earnestly that we may see you face to face and restore whatever 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 make you increase and
abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you.
And may he strengthen your hears in holiness that you may be blameless before
our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
1 Thessalonians
3:7-13
