1 Thessalonians 3:11

Prayer For The Church

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. ¹² And may the Lord cause your love for one another, and for everyone, to increase and overflow, just as ours does for you also.
