(starting with a shorter letter)
Paul, Silas and Timothy (PST) pray for those whose work is produced by faith, those whose labor is prompted by love, and those whose endurance is inspired by hope in Christ. Sounds like they mean me too. Can you imagine those three in Heaven, remembering us to God? Taking apart the list of things they pray for is a study all by itself. The wording suggests an ongoing praying, and as a member of the Church, I take that to mean they pray for me when i do as I should too.
1:4-5 may or may not not be obvious to outside observation (another whole topic of its own) but as I am sure of my conversion, I can also claim this for myself. God loves me and chose me.
