and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all of the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking your faith? ( 1 Thessalonians 3:9-10 )
