1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Indeed, brethren, you have become imitators of the Churches of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you have suffered the same treatment from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, ¹⁵ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the Prophets and also persecuted us.

They displease God and have become enemies of the entire human race ¹⁶ by trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way, they constantly reach the full measure of their sins. The wrath of God has begun to overtake them at last.
