1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 - Paul's Desire To Revisit The Thessalonians
17 But [when] we were made orphans by separation from you, brothers, for {a short time} (in face, not in heart), [we were] even more eager with great desire to see your face, 18 because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, {on more than one occasion}--and Satan hindered us. 19 For who [is] our hope or joy or crown of boasting? [Is it] not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
