1 Thessalonians 2:2
New International Version
2 We had previously suffered(A) and been treated outrageously in Philippi,(B) as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.(C)
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]
