“Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:”
King James Version (KJV)
3:6 But now when Timotheus was come to us from you - Immediately after his return, St. Paul wrote; while his joy was fresh, and his tenderness at the height.
3:8 Now we live - Indeed; we enjoy life: so great is our affection for you.
1Th 3:7 We were comforted over you. The good tidings of the faithfulness of the saints filled him with joy.
