1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour,––in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour,––in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing; ¹⁸ Wherefore, we desired to come unto you––even, I, Paul, both once and again,––and, Satan, thwarted us. ¹⁹ For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence? ²⁰ Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
