1 Thessalonians 2:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

¹⁸ For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
