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 because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, {on more than one occasion}--and Satan hindered us.

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

20 For you are our glory and joy.
