1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 - Paul's Desire To Revisit The Thessalonians
17 But I, my brothers, although torn from you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made eager efforts to behold you face to face with strong longing. 18 For that reason I would fain have visited you??, Paul, again and again??ut Satan hindered me. 19 For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victor's wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming! 20 For you are my pride and my delight.
