In context

14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,

15 who 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,

16 hindering 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.

17 Brothers, 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.

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