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 So we wanted to come to you-even I, Paul, time and again-but Satan hindered us.

19 For who is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Is it not you?

20 For you are our glory and joy!
