1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

New King James Version

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators ^(A)of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For ^(B)you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, ^15 (C)who killed both the Lord Jesus and ^(D)their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God ^(E)and are ^[a]contrary to all men, ^16 (F)forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always ^(G)to fill up the measure of their sins; ^(H)but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
