Assault on Jason’s House

⁵ But the Jews ^[a]who were not persuaded, ^[b]becoming ^(A)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of ^(B)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

^26 (A)Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹³ But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

Greetings from Paul’s Friends

^21 (A)Timothy, my fellow worker, and ^(B)Lucius, ^(C)Jason, and ^(D)Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.

⁷ Jason has ^[a]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, ^(A)saying there is another king—Jesus.”

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.

²¹ envy, ^[a]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that ^(A)those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

² But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and ^[a]poisoned their ^[b]minds against the brethren.

⁴ So they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of ^(A)Baal-Berith, with which Abimelech hired ^(B)worthless and reckless men; and they followed him.
