1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 But we, brethren, having been torn from you for a short time, in person, not in heart, endeavoured all the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ But we, brethren, having been torn from you for a short time, in person, not in heart, endeavoured all the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face. ¹⁸ Therefore, we wanted to come to you, and I, Paul, more than once; but Satan hindered us. ¹⁹ For what is our hope, our joy, our crown of rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? Is it not even you? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.
