1 THESSALONIANS 3:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;”
For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, in return for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God — the gratitude is infinite, overflowing; there is no proportional return for the joy the Thessalonians give. Standing 'before our God' (enōpion tou theou hēmōn) again places their joy in the divine presence. Thanksgiving becomes the appropriate response to grace.
