1 Thessalonians 2:16 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
14 Car vous, frères, vous êtes devenus les imitateurs des Églises de Dieu qui sont en Jésus-Christ dans la Judée, parce que vous aussi, vous avez souffert de la part de vos propres compatriotes les mêmes maux qu’elles ont soufferts de la part des Juifs.
15 Ce sont ces Juifs qui ont fait mourir le Seigneur Jésus et les prophètes, qui nous ont persécutés, qui ne plaisent point à Dieu, et qui sont ennemis de tous les hommes,
16 nous empêchant de parler aux païens pour qu’ils soient sauvés, en sorte qu’ils ne cessent de mettre le comble à leurs péchés. Mais la colère a fini par les atteindre.
17 Pour nous, frères, après avoir été quelque temps séparés de vous, de corps mais non de cœur, nous avons eu d’autant plus ardemment le vif désir de vous voir.
18 Aussi voulions-nous aller vers vous, du moins moi Paul, une et même deux fois; mais Satan nous en a empêchés.
