1 Thessalonians 2:16 in context

  1. 14For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judæa in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;
  2. 15who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and please not God, and are contrary to all men;
  3. 16forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
  4. 17But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:
  5. 18because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
