1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

21st Century King James Version

¹² that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His Kingdom and glory.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God in Judea which are in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews,

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us. They please not God and are contrary to all men,

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that they might be saved, thus heaping up their sins always. But the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost!
