1 Thessalonians 2:20

20 Yes, you are our glory and our joy.

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 On this account we wanted to come to you--at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so--but Satan hindered us.

19 For what is our hope or joy, or the crown of which we boast? Is it not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His Coming?

20 Yes, you are our glory and our joy.
