1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 (1:6) But we, brothers, being deprived of you for a short time in presence, not in heart, used greater diligence to see your face, with much desire.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ ^(1:6) But we, brothers, being deprived of you for a short time in presence, not in heart, used greater diligence to see your face, with much desire. ¹⁸ For which reason we wished to come to you; I Paul indeed once and again, and Satan hindered us. ¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you before our Lord Jesus at his coming? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.
