1 Thessalonians 2:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.

¹⁷ But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

¹⁸ For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
