1 Thessalonians 2:17 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
15 Los cuales aun mataron al Señor Jesús y á sus propios profetas, y á nosotros nos han perseguido; y no agradan á Dios, y se oponen á todos los hombres;
16 Prohibiéndonos hablar á los Gentiles, á fin de que se salven, para henchir [la medida de] sus pecados siempre: pues vino sobre ellos la ira hasta el extremo.
17 Mas nosotros, hermanos, privados de vosotros por un poco de tiempo, de vista, no de corazón, tanto más procuramos con mucho deseo ver vuestro rostro.
18 Por lo cual quisimos ir á vosotros, yo Pablo á la verdad, una vez y otra; mas Satanás nos embarazó.
19 Porque ¿cuál es nuestra esperanza, ó gozo, ó corona de que me gloríe? ¿No sois vosotros, delante de nuestro Señor Jesucristo en su venida?
