1 Thessalonians 2:17 in context
- 15who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and please not 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 the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

- 18because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
- 19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
