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.

Timothy’s Report to Paul
17 Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while—in person but not in heart—we eagerly desire to see you again face to face. 18 That is why we wanted to come to you. Certainly I, Paul, wanted to come[a] time and again, but Satan blocked our way. 19 After all, who is our hope, joy, or reason for[b] rejoicing in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? It is you, isn’t it? 20 Yes, you are our glory and joy!
