1 Thessalonians 2:15

The Thessalonians' Response To Paul's Message

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 didn'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.
