1 Thessalonians 2:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ We wanted to come to you. I, Paul, tried to come ·more than once [again and again; ^Lboth once and twice], but Satan ·stopped [hindered; prevented] us. ¹⁹ ·You are [^LFor who is…?] our hope, our joy, and the crown we will ·take pride in [boast about] when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. ²⁰ Truly you are our glory and our joy.
