1 Thessalonians 2:17

← 1 Thessalonians 2:16	1 Thessalonians 2:17 (KJV)	1 Thessalonians 2:18 →
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.	But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.	Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
