In context

14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
