In context

15Who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,

16Hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.

17Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.

18For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.

19After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
