1 Thessalonians 2:17
Nestle 1904 Greek New Testament · Berean Standard Bible
Ἡμεῖς δέ ἀδελφοί ἀπορφανισθέντες ἀφ’ ὑμῶν πρὸς καιρὸν ὥρας προσώπῳ οὐ καρδίᾳ περισσοτέρως ἐσπουδάσαμεν τὸ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν ἰδεῖν ἐν πολλῇ ἐπιθυμίᾳ
Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
