1 Thessalonians 3:6 |
Next Verse |
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:
Note 9 at 1 Th. 3:6: Timothy had come back with "good news." The phrase "good tidings" is translated from the Greek word EUAGGELIZO, and is the same word that is also translated "preach the gospel" 22 times in the New Testament. Timothy's report to Paul revealed the good news that the Thessalonians' faith and love were holding strong. Paul was glad for this good news and rejoiced that they wanted to see him as much as he desired to see them.
