[1 Thessalonians 2: 6, 19, 20]
6 We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or anyone else. As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you,
19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
