1 Thessalonians 2:17 in context
- 15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
- 16forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
- 17But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
- 18because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
- 19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
