1 Thessalonians 2:17-20

Common English Bible CEB

17 Brothers and sisters, we were separated from you for a while physically but not in our hearts. We made every effort in our desire to see you again face-to-face.

18 We wanted to come to you—I, Paul, tried over and over again—and Satan stopped us.

19 What is our hope, joy, or crown that we can brag about in front of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Isn't it all of you?

20 You are our glory and joy!

New International Version NIV

17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.

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

19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?

20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
