1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
Legacy Standard Bible
13 And for this reason we also (A)thank God without ceasing that when you received the (B)word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it (C)not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, (D)which also is at work in you who believe. 14 For you, brothers, became (E)imitators of (F)the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are (G)in Judea, for (H)you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own countrymen, (I)even as they did from the Jews, 15 (J)who both killed the Lord Jesus and (K)the prophets, and [a]drove us out, and do not please God, and are hostile to all men, 16 (L)hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles (M)so that they may be saved; with the result that they always (N)fill up the measure of their sins. But (O)wrath has come upon them [b]to the utmost.

Evangelical Heritage Version
13 There is also another reason we give thanks to God unceasingly, namely, when you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you did not receive it as the word of men but as the word of God (as it really is), which is now at work in you who believe. 14 Yes, brothers, you became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus, because you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who severely persecuted us. They are not pleasing to God and are hostile to all people. 16 By hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved, they are always filling up the full measure of their sins. And the wrath has come upon them completely.[a]
