1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5
dby@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
dby@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
dby@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not ye also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
dby@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ for ye are our glory and joy.
dby@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,
dby@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage [you] concerning your faith,
dby@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;
dby@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)
dby@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason I also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.
