1 Thessalonians 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Thessalonians 2:20

For ye are our glory and joy.
] Or "our joy", as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read; this is a repetition, and a confirmation of what is before said; and signifies that these saints were then the glory of the apostles, being the seals of their ministry; and whom they gloried of and rejoiced in, and hoped and believed they would be such, as would be their joy and crown in time to come, and for ever.

1 Thessalonians 2:20 In-Context

18 For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

19 For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

20 For you are our glory and our joy.
