1 Thessalonians 2:17 But brothers, after we were separated from you for a short time --- in person but not in spirit --- we became all the more eager to come to you and strongly desired to see you in person. Note: The word “separated” here denotes the traumatic experience of a child being forcibly removed from its parents. It had been about six months since Paul left Thessalonica under adverse circumstances.
