1 Thessalonians 2:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

¹⁷ But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;

¹⁸ wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
