8. Now we really live, because you are standing firm in the Lord.
9. How can we thank God enough for you because of all the joy that comes only from our God?
10. Night and day we pray very hard that we will see you again. We want to give you what is missing in your faith.
11. Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus open up a way for us to come to you.
12. May the Lord make your love grow. May it be like a rising flood. May your love for one another increase. May it also increase for everyone else. May it be just like our love for you.
