1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5
ylt@1Thessalonians:2:17 @And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour -- in presence, not in heart -- did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,
ylt@1Thessalonians:2:18 @wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
ylt@1Thessalonians:2:19 @for what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?
ylt@1Thessalonians:2:20 @for ye are our glory and joy.
ylt@1Thessalonians:3:1 @Wherefore no longer forbearing, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
ylt@1Thessalonians:3:2 @and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,
ylt@1Thessalonians:3:3 @that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,
ylt@1Thessalonians:3:4 @for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand, that we are about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come to pass, and ye have known [it];
ylt@1Thessalonians:3:5 @because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.
