1 Thessalonians 2:17-19

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,

because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Yeshua at his coming?
