1 Thessalonians 2:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets,[a] and drove us out; they displease God and oppose everyone 16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they have constantly been filling up the measure of their sins; but God’s wrath has overtaken them at last.[b]
Paul’s Desire to Visit the Thessalonians Again
17 As for us, brothers and sisters,[c] when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you—in person, not in heart—we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face.
