Paul uses questions to emphasize the reasons he wants to come see the Thessalonian believers. Alternate translation: "For you are our confidence for the future, and joy, and crown of pride in front of our Lord Jesus at his coming." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

The Thessalonians are the reason for his joy. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
