1 Thessalonians 2:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up the measure of their sins always, for the wrath of God has come upon them to the uttermost.

¹⁷ ¶ But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly with great desire to see your face.

¹⁸ Therefore we would have come unto you, even I, Paul, once and again, but Satan hindered us.
