For they themselves proclaim of us what entrance we have to you, and how ye turned to God from images to serve the living and true God;

For ye, brethren, were imitators of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things by your own race, as they also by the Jews:

They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men;

Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

And I wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of them having been asleep, that ye should not grieve, as also the rest, they hating no hope.

For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night.
