14. For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;
15. who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drave out us, and please 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 alway: 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, endeavoured 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.
