1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea,(A) since you have also suffered(B) the same things from people of your own country,(C) just as they did from the Jews 15 who killed the Lord Jesus(D) and the prophets and persecuted us.(E) They displease God and are hostile to everyone, 16 by keeping us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. As a result, they are constantly filling up their sins to the limit,(F) and wrath has overtaken them at last.[a]

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
King James Version
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
