Second aorist passive indicative of χαιρω chairō a timeless aorist. I did rejoice, I do rejoice. [source]
Old adverb, only here in N.T., from μεγας megas (great). Now at length (ηδη ποτε ēdē pote). In N.T. only here and Romans 1:10. Ποτε Pote is indefinite past (interval), ηδη ēdē immediate present. Ye have revived Second aorist active indicative of old poetic word (Homer), αναταλλω anathallō to sprout again, to shoot up, to blossom again. So in the lxx five times, though rare and literary word. Your thought for me (το υπερ εμου προνειν to huper emou phronein). Accusative case of the articular present active infinitive the object of ανεταλετε anethalete used transitively. “You caused your thinking of me to bloom afresh.” Wherein “In which,” “upon which” (locative case). A loose reference to Paul‘s interests as involved in their thinking of him. Ye did indeed take thought (και επρονειτε kai ephroneite). Imperfect active, “ye were also (or had been also) thinking.” Ye lacked opportunity Imperfect middle of ακαιρεομαι akaireomai late and rare word, here only in N.T., from ακαιρος akairos (α a privative, καιρος kairos), not to have a chance, the opposite of ευκαιρεω eukaireō (Mark 6:31).

Lit., ye caused your thinking on my behalf to bloom anew. Rev., ye revived your thought for me. The verb occurs only here in the New Testament. In the Septuagint it appears as both transitive and intransitive, to flourish, or to cause to flourish. Thus Psalm 27:7, where Septuagint reads for my heart greatly rejoiceth, my flesh flourished ( ἀνέθαλεν ); Ezekiel 17:24, have made the dry tree to flourish. [source]
The matter of my wants and sufferings. Implied in your care of me. [source]
Rev., ye did take thought. Note the imperfect tense: ye were all along thoughtful. [source]
