1 Thessalonians 2:17-19

Common English Bible

Paul’s desire to visit

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, we were separated from you for a while physically but not in our hearts. We made every effort in our desire to see you again face-to-face. ¹⁸ We wanted to come to you—I, Paul, tried over and over again—and Satan stopped us. ¹⁹ What is our hope, joy, or crown that we can brag about in front of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Isn’t it all of you?
