1 Thessalonians 2:15

The Thessalonians' Response To Paul's Message

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also they of the Jews, ¹⁵ who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and are against all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
