2 Timothy 1:4

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; do not...: or, are disobedient That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
