8. Formal Translation You love Jesus Christ {Iesous Christos, Unseen Lord} though you have not seen Him, and though you do not see Him now, yet believing in Him, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and filled with glory. |
8. Dynamic Translation Even without seeing Him, you love Him {Iesous Christos, Present Savior}. And although you do not see Him now, you continue to trust Him and celebrate with a joy that cannot be put into words and that is glorious. |
