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.For we wanted to come to you( I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) but Satan thwarted us.For who is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not of course you?For you are our glory and joy!So when we could bear it no longer, we decided to stay on in Athens alone.
