15. who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;
16. forbidding 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.
17. But 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:
18. because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
19. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
20. For ye are our glory and our joy.
