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,

因為，我雖然身體不在你們那裡，心靈卻與你們同在，而且看見你們有秩序，對基督的信仰也堅定不移，我就感到快樂。

要知道，我雖然身體不在你們那裡，但靈裡卻在你們那裡；我已經像在你們那裡一樣審判了做這事的人。

但是，現在提摩太從你們那裡來到我們這裡，帶來了你們信仰和愛心的好消息，並且說你們總是對我們懷著美好的記憶，切切地想見到我們，就像我們也渴望見到你們那樣。

弟兄們，我不願意你們不明白：我多次計劃到你們那裡去，為要在你們那裡也得一些果實，就像我在其他外邦人中那樣，可是直到如今還受到攔阻。

但如今，這些地區再沒有可傳的地方了，況且多年來我一直渴望見到你們。

我們日夜迫切祈求，要見你們的面，並且要補全你們在信仰上的缺欠。願神我們的父和我們的主耶穌，親自引導我們的道路到你們那裡去。

神哪，你是我的神，我切切尋求你！在乾旱、疲乏、無水之地，我的靈魂渴想你，我的肉體渴盼你。

耶穌對他們說：「我一直非常渴望在我受難之前，與你們一起吃這逾越節的晚餐。

以色列說：「好，我的兒子約瑟還活著！在我死之前，我要去見他。」

弟兄們立刻連夜送保羅和賽拉斯往庇里亞城去。兩個人一到，就進了猶太人的會堂。

這時，大衛王在暗嫩死的事上已經受了安慰，渴望去見押沙龍。

以色列對約瑟說：「我沒有想到能見你的面，看哪，連你的後裔，神都讓我見到了！」

但如果我繼續活在世上，這就使我有工作的成果，於是我不明白該怎樣選擇了。我正處在兩難之間：我渴望離世與基督在一起，因為這是好得無比的；可是為了你們的緣故，我更需要留在世上。既然我深信這一點，就知道我會活下去，並且將繼續和你們大家在一起，好使你們在信仰上有長進、有喜樂。以致因著我再次到你們那裡去，你們在基督耶穌裡，對我的誇耀能充實滿溢。

現在，你因為切切思念你的父家，一定要走，但為什麼偷了我的神像呢？」
