1 Thessalonians 2:17-19

New Life Version

¹⁷ Christian brothers, because we have not been able to be with you, our hearts have been with you. We have wanted very much to see you. ¹⁸ We wanted to come to you. I, Paul, have tried to come to you more than once but Satan kept us from coming. ¹⁹ Who is our hope or joy or crown of happiness? It is you, when you stand before our Lord Jesus Christ when He comes again.
