1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
English Standard Version
14 For you, brothers, (A)became imitators of (B)the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For (C)you suffered the same things from your own countrymen (D)as they did from the Jews,[a] 15 (E)who killed both the Lord Jesus and (F)the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and (G)oppose all mankind 16 (H)by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always (I)to fill up the measure of their sins. But (J)wrath has come upon them at last![b]

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
New International Version
14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators(A) of God’s churches in Judea,(B) which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people(C) the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 15 who killed the Lord Jesus(D) and the prophets(E) and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles(F) so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit.(G) The wrath of God has come upon them at last.[a]
