2 Thessalonians 1:3
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly
so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love
every one of you has for each other is increasing.
(4) Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your
perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are
enduring.
Galatians 5:10
I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. . . .
Colossians 1:3
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
when we pray for you,
(4) because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of
the love you have for all the saints –
2 Timothy 1:3
I thank God, . . .
as night and day I constantly remember you in
my prayers.
(4) Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be
filled with joy.
(5) I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived
in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am
persuaded, now lives in you also.
(6) For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of
God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Philemon 1:4
I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,
(5) because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your
love for all the saints.
(7) Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because
you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
(8) Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you
to do what you ought to do,
(9) yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul – an
old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus –
Ephesians 1:16
I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in
my prayers.
(17) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and
revelation, so that you may know him better.
1 Thessalonians 1:2
We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our
prayers.
(3) We continually remember before our God and Father your work
produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your
endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(4) For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,
(5) because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but
also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.
You know how we lived among you for your sake.
(6) You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of
severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by
the Holy Spirit.
(7) And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia
and Achaia.
(8) The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia
and Achaia – your faith in God has become known everywhere.
Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,
(9) for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave
us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the
living and true God,
(10) and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the
dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
Philippians 1:3
I thank my God every time I remember you.
(4) In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
(5) because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day
until now,
(6) being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you
will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
(7) It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I
have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and
confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
