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.

Brothers and sisters, we were separated from you for a short time. Apart from you, we were like children without parents. We were no longer with you in person. But we kept you in our thoughts. We really wanted to see you. So we tried very hard to do so.

But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face,

Dear brothers and sisters, after we were separated from you for a little while( though our hearts never left you), we tried very hard to come back because of our intense longing to see you again.

But as for us, brothers and sisters, after we were forced to leave you for a short time( in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

But we, brothers and sisters, having been orphaned from you by absence for a short while— in person, not in spirit— were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.

But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire.

But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:

But as for us, brothers, after we were forced to leave you for a short time( in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time( in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person.

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,

現在，我人雖不在你們那裡，心卻和你們在一起，看到你們生活井然有序，對基督堅信不移，我很喜樂。

現在，我雖然身在遠方，心卻在你們那裡。我已經審判了做這事的人，就像親自在場一樣。

現在，提摩太剛從你們那裡回來，把有關你們信心和愛心的好消息告訴了我們。他說你們常常思念我們，很想見到我們，就像我們渴望見到你們一樣。

弟兄姊妹，我希望你們知道，我曾多次計劃去你們那裡，要在你們中間收穫一些福音的果子，像在其他外族人中一樣，只是至今仍有攔阻。

但如今福音傳遍了這一帶，況且我幾年來一直盼望去你們那裡，

我們晝夜懇切禱告，渴望能見到你們，彌補你們信心的不足之處。願我們的父上帝和我們的主耶穌引領我們到你們那裡。

上帝啊，你是我的上帝，我迫切地尋求你！在乾旱荒涼之地，我的心渴慕你，渴慕你！

耶穌對他們說：「我一直盼望在受難之前和你們同吃這個逾越節的宴席。

以色列說：「我信了！我兒約瑟還活著，我要在死之前去見他。」

弟兄姊妹在夜間把保羅和西拉送往庇哩亞。他們二人一到，就進了猶太會堂。

後來心情恢復平靜，開始想念押沙龍。

以色列對約瑟說：「我以為再也見不到你了，上帝竟然還讓我見到了你的兒子！」

如果活在世上，我可以做工，多結果子。我真不知道該怎麼選擇！我處在兩難之間。我情願離開世界，與基督在一起，那實在是再好不過了。可是為了你們，我應該活在世上。我既然對此深信不疑，就知道自己仍要活下去，繼續跟你們在一起，好使你們在信仰上又長進又充滿喜樂。這樣，我再到你們那裡的時候，你們可以因為我的緣故更加以基督耶穌為榮。

以利沙對他說：「那人下車回頭迎接你的時候，我的心不也在那裡嗎？現在豈是接受人家銀子、衣服、橄欖園、葡萄園、牛羊和僕婢的時候？

你思家心切，一定要走，但你為什麼要偷走我的神像呢？」
