web@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

web@1Thessalonians:2:18 @because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again--but Satan hindered us.

web@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus {TR adds "Christ"} at his coming?

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

web@1Thessalonians:3:1 @Therefore when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

web@1Thessalonians:3:2 @and sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;

web@1Thessalonians:3:3 @that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

web@1Thessalonians:3:4 @For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

web@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
