1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 - Paul's Desire To Revisit The Thessalonians
17 Brothers, when we were bereft of you for a little while (out of sight, not out of mind), we were the more eager to see you. We had a keen longing for you. 18 (We did want to reach you ??I did, I Paul, more than once ??but Satan stopped us.) 19 For who is our hope, our joy, our crown of pride (who but you?) in the presence of our Lord Jesus on his arrival? 20 Why, you, you are our glory and joy!
