1:6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

3:6But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

3:7Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

3:8For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
