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 We wanted to return to you. I myself tried to go back more than once, but Satan would not let us.

19 After all, it is you - you, no less than others! - who are our hope, our joy, and our reason for boasting of our victory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes.

20 Indeed, you are our pride and our joy!
