1 Thessalonians 2:17-20
Legacy Standard Bible

17 But we, brothers, having been taken away from you for a [a]short while—(A)in face but not in heart—were all the more eager with great desire (B)to see your face. 18 [b]For (C)we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, [c](D)more than once—and yet (E)Satan (F)hindered us. 19 For who is our hope or (G)joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at His [d](H)coming? 20 For you are (I)our glory and joy.

Paul's Longing to See Them Again

17 But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, (A)in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire (B)to see you face to face, 18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan (C)hindered us. 19 For what is our hope or (D)joy or crown of boasting (E)before our Lord Jesus at his (F)coming? Is it not you? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
