1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ For brothers, you have become followers of the churches of God (which in Judea are in Christ Jesus) because you have also suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they have from the Judeans,

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets and have driven us out. And they do not please God and are contrary to all mankind

¹⁶ and forbid us to preach to the Gentiles (so that they might be saved), always fulfilling their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.
