1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5
noyes@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you for a short time, separated in body, not in heart, used the greater endeavors with much earnestness to see your face.
noyes@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Wherefore we purposed to come to you, that is, I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
noyes@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?
noyes@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For ye are our glory and joy.
noyes@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we chose to be left at Athens alone,
noyes@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and a fellow–laborer with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to encourage you in your faith,
noyes@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for yourselves know that to this we are appointed;
noyes@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know.
noyes@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.
