1 THESSALONIANS 3:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“But 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:”
But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love — we rejoice because of you in the presence of the Lord — Timothy's report is transformative; the Thessalonians' perseverance is 'good news' (euangelion). The rejoicing 'in the presence of the Lord' (enōpion tou kyriou) suggests that their faithfulness is celebrated in the heavenly throne room itself. Their steadfastness is cosmic triumph.
