7. Therefore, brethren, we were encouraged over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
8. For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
9. For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we joy for your sakes before our God;
10. Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11. Now God himself even our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13. To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
