1Thessalonians:2:17-3:5
bbe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;
bbe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.
bbe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?
bbe@1Thessalonians:2:20 @For you are our glory and our joy.
bbe@1Thessalonians:3:1 @At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,
bbe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;
bbe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.
bbe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.
bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.
