English Standard Version

^15 (A)who killed both the Lord Jesus and ^(B)the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and ^(C)oppose all mankind ^16 (D)by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always ^(E)to fill up the measure of their sins. But ^(F)wrath has come upon them at last!^[a]

¹⁷ But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, ^(G)in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire ^(H)to see you face to face, ¹⁸ because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan ^(I)hindered us.
