New Testament1 ThessaloniansPaul’s Longing to Visit · 2:17–202:17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.2:18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.
