18wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
18wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
15 who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary,
16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them — to the end!
17 And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour — in presence, not in heart — did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,
18 wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
19 for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?
20 for ye are our glory and joy.
2:18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
2:18For we wanted to come to you-- certainly I, Paul, did, again and again-- but Satan stopped us.
2:18For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
2:18because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
2:18wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
2:18because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
2:18Wherefore we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
2:18because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
2:18Why we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
