Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But when Timotheus reached me a moment ago, on his return from you, bringing me the good news of your faith and love and of how you always remember me kindly, longing to see me as I long to see you, ⁷ then, amid all my own distress and trouble, I was cheered — this faith of yours encouraged me. ⁸ It is life to me now, if you stand firm in the Lord. ⁹ How can I render thanks enough to God for you, for all the joy you make me feel in the presence of our God?
