1 Thessalonians 2:17-20

17 As for us, brothers and sisters, when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you—in person, not in heart—we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face.

18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again—but Satan blocked our way.

19 For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

20 Yes, you are our glory and joy!

1 Thessalonians 3:1-5

1 Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we decided to be left alone in Athens;

2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and co-worker for God in proclaiming the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you for the sake of your faith,

3 so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions. Indeed, you yourselves know that this is what we are destined for.

4 In fact, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were to suffer persecution; so it turned out, as you know.

5 For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith; I was afraid that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor had been in vain.
