10 But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surelyD8721 ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.
surely - I have translated this phrase 'though surely,' as giving the sense. It qualifies the apparent reproach of the apostle that they had revived their thinking of him. 'I say that ye have begun again, but I do not mean ye did not think of me, only ye had no good occasion to show it.'
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourishedK7057again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
