Forced Absence from Thessalonica 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.
