Reading in version Bible In Basic English - English

17

But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face

18

For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again but Satan kept us from coming.

19

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

20

For you are our glory and our joy.
