14For 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;
15who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased 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.
17But 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:
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?
