1 Thessalonians 2:17-20

Tree of Life Version

Longing to Visit and Reassure

¹⁷ But brothers and sisters, after we were orphaned by separation from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), we were all the more eager in our great longing to see you face to face. ¹⁸ For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—but satan thwarted us. ¹⁹ For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting^[a] before our Lord Yeshua at His coming? Is it not you? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy!
