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.
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - 1 Thessalonians 2:17 >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.
Textus Receptus (TR) - 1 Thessalonians 2:17 >Ἡμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἀπορφανισθέντες ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν πρὸς καιρὸν ὥρας, προσώπῳ οὐ καρδίᾳ, περισσοτέρως ἐσπουδάσαμεν τὸ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν ἰδεῖν ἐν πολλῇ ἐπιθυμίᾳ·
