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,

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.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.

But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you,

Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

He said to them,“ I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

Israel said,“ It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

King David longed to go out to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.

Israel said to Joseph,“ I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”

But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

He said to him,“ Didn’t my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?

Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
