1 Thessalonians 2:18 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2

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.

19 Pois, qual é nossa esperança, alegria, ou coroa de orgulho, diante do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo na sua vinda? Acaso não sois vós?

20 Porque vós sois o nosso orgulho e alegria.
