The Apostle Paul was countering claims made against him that he was greedy, but he countered that with refreshing the memory of the Thessalonians of his work and labor among them without compensation from the people he evangelized. He was obviously accused of using guile and deceitful practices, but instead he gave them the Word of God. He also wanted them to know he still loved them. Some had probably said he hadn't come back because he didn't want to come back. Paul said Satan hindered him so that others would not be saved. Paul's great joy was the fellowship these Thessalonians had made with him, and he carried them in his heart just as we might proudly carry pictures of our loved ones.
