But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
18
because we wanted to come to you -- indeed, I, Paul, once and again -- but Satan hindered us.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn`t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20
For you are our glory and our joy.
