1 Thessalonians 2:18-20

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁸ wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;

¹⁹ for what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?

²⁰ for ye are our glory and joy.
