1 Thessalonians 2:16 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2

14 Pois vós, irmãos, vos tornastes imitadores das igrejas de Deus que estão na Judeia em Cristo Jesus; porque também sofrestes as mesmas coisas dos vossos próprios compatriotas, como também eles dos judeus;

15 que também mataram o Senhor Jesus e os seus próprios profetas, e nos perseguiram, e não agradam a Deus, e são contrários a todos:

16 eles nos impedem de falar aos gentios, para que sejam salvos. Assim eles estão se enchendo constantemente de pecados, mas, por fim, ira veio sobre eles até o fim.

17 Porém, irmãos, quando nos separamos de vós por algum tempo, em presença, não no coração, buscamos mais, com muito desejo, ver o vosso rosto;

18 por isso quisemos, pelo menos eu, Paulo, vos visitar uma vez e outra; mas Satanás nos impediu.
