1 Thessalonians 2:17-20

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

We Sent Timothy To Establish You Amidst Your Afflictions, And That I Might Know Your Faith

¹⁷ And we, brothers, having been orphaned from you for a season of an hour in face, not in heart, were more eager^[a] with great desire to see your face. ¹⁸ Because we wanted^[b] to come to you— I, Paul, both once and twice^[c]— and Satan hindered us. ¹⁹ For what^[d] is our hope or joy or crown of boasting— or is it not indeed you!— before our Lord Jesus at His coming? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.
