Timothy's Positive Report

⁹ For how can we thank God [enough] for you, in return for all the joy we have over you, in the presence of our God? ¹⁰ Night and day we pray very earnestly that we will be able to see you in person, so we can provide what is lacking in your faith. ¹¹ Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, open the way for us to go to you.
