Joy of Paul, Rejoicing Over his Converts

After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

You are indeed our glory and our joy.

How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?

I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
