1 Thessalonians3:7
We were comforted over you. 2Cor 1:3 and following; 2Cor 7:6, 2Cor 7:7. The sense here is, that their steadfastness was a great source of comfort to him in his trials. It was an instance where the holy lives and the fidelity of a people did much, as will always be the case, to lighten the burdens and cheer the heart of a minister of the gospel. In the inevitable trials of the ministerial office there is no source of comfort more rich and pure than this.
(e) "comforted" 2Cor 7:6,7 (++) "over you" "concerning"
