kjc - 1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5

kjc@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brothers, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

kjc@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Therefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

kjc@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

kjc@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

kjc@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could no longer hold back, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

kjc@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

kjc@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

kjc@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For truthfully, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; just as it came to pass, and you know.

kjc@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I could no longer hold back, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.
