1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 - Paul's Desire To Revisit The Thessalonians

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time, in presence, not in heart, laboured with great desire the more abundantly to see your face. 18 Wherefore we would have come to you (even I Paul) once and again, but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming? 20 For ye are our glory and joy.
