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?

20For ye are our glory and our joy.
