1 Thessalonians 2:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 (A)who both killed the Lord Jesus and (B)the prophets, and [a]drove us out, and do not please God, and are hostile to all men, 16 (C)hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles (D)so that they may be saved; with the result that they always (E)fill up the measure of their sins. But (F)wrath has come upon them [b]to the utmost.
17 But we, brothers, having been taken away from you for a [c]short while—(G)in face but not in heart—were all the more eager with great desire (H)to see your face.

15 who killed the Lord Jesus(A) and the prophets(B) and also drove us out.

17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought),(E) out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.(F)
