Kehillah in Thessalonika I 2:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷ But you, Achim b’Moshiach, while we were separated from you for a short time (panim el panim, not b’lev), we made all the more effort in much desire to see your penemer (faces).

¹⁸ For we wanted to come to you. Indeed I, [Rav] Sha’ul, did again and again; but Hasatan hindered us.

¹⁹ For who is our tikvah or simcha or crown to glory in before Adoneinu Yehoshua at His Parousia, at the Bias Moshiach‖is it not you?
