1 Thessalonians 2:14-20

14For you, brothersG80 and sisters, becameG1096 1imitatorsG3402 of 2the churchesG1577 of GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 that are 3in JudeaG2449, for 4you alsoG2532 enduredG3958 the sameG846 sufferingsG3958 atG5259 the handsG5259 of your ownG2398 countrymenG4853, 5evenG2531 as they did from the JewsG2453, 15 6who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 and 7the prophetsG4396, and 8droveG1559 us outG1559. 9They are not pleasingG700 to GodG2316, 10but hostileG1727 to allG3956 peopleG444, 16 11hinderingG2967 us from speakingG2980 to the GentilesG1484 12soG2443 thatG2443 they may be savedG4982; with the resultG1519 that they alwaysG3842 13 14reachG378 theG378 limitG378 of their sinsG266. But 15wrathG3709 has comeG5348 upon them 16fullyG5056.

17But we, brothersG80 and sisters, having been orphanedG642 from you by absence for a 17shortG2540 G5610 whileG5610--18in 19personG4383, not in 20spiritG2588--were allG4056 theG4056 moreG4056 eagerG4704 with greatG4183 desireG1939 21to seeG3708 your faceG4383. 18 22For 23we wantedG2309 to comeG2064 to you--I, PaulG3972, 24 25moreG2532 G1364 thanG2532 onceG530--and 26SatanG4567 27hinderedG1465 us. 19For whoG5101 is our hopeG1680, orG2228 28joyG5479 orG2228 crownG4735 of prideG2746, inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 at His 29 30comingG3952? Or is it not indeedG2532 you? 20For you are 31our gloryG1391 and joyG5479.
