For our part, brothers, when we were separated from you for a little while??n person, though not in spirit??e were extremely eager and longed intensely to see you.

For we resolved to come to see you??, Paul, did so again and again??ut Satan held us back.

But now that Timothy has just come back to me from you, and brought me good news of your faith and love, and told me how kindly you think of me and that you long to see me just as much as I long to see you,

as I pray night and day with intense earnestness that I may see your faces and supply what is lacking in your faith?
