1 Thessalonians 2:13-20

13For this reason we also constantly 1thank God that when you received the 2word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it 3not as the word of mere men, but as what it really is, the word of God, 4which also is at work in you who believe. 14For you, brothers and sisters, became 5imitators of 6the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are 7in Judea, for 8you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, 9even as they did from the Jews, 1510who both killed the Lord Jesus and 11the prophets, and 12drove us out. 13They are not pleasing to God, 14but hostile to all people, 1615hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles 16so that they may be saved; with the result that they always 1718reach the limit of their sins. But 19wrath has come upon them 20fully.

17But we, brothers and sisters, having been orphaned from you by absence for a 21short while--22in 23person, not in 24spirit--were all the more eager with great desire 25to see your face. 1826For 27we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, 2829more than once--and 30Satan 31hindered us. 19For who is our hope, or 32joy or crown of pride, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His 3334coming? Or is it not indeed you? 20For you are 35our glory and joy.
