10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
10 as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?
10 We do what we can, praying away, night and day, asking for the bonus of seeing your faces again and doing what we can to help when your faith falters.
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
10 Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:10
Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:6-10
(Read 1 Thessalonians 3:6-10)
Thankfulness to God is very imperfect in the present state; but one great end of the ministry of the word is to help faith forward. That which was the instrument to obtain faith, is also the means of increasing and confirming it, namely, the ordinances of God; and as faith cometh by hearing, so it is confirmed by hearing also.
