“For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;”
King James Version (KJV)
3:8 Now we live - Indeed; we enjoy life: so great is our affection for you.
3:10 And perfect that which is wanting in your faith - So St. Paul did not know that they who are once upon the rock no longer need to be taught by man.
3:11 Direct our way - This prayer is addressed to Christ, as well as to the Father.
1Th 3:9 What thanks can we render to God? How can we be thankful enough?
