Disciples’ Literal New Testament

And We Thank God You Accepted Our Message As God’s Word, Even Amidst Persecution

¹³And for this^[a] reason we are indeed^[b] giving-thanks to God unceasingly: because having received the word of God heard from us^[c], you accepted not the word of humans, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at-work^[d] in you, the ones believing. ¹⁴For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God existing in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things by your own countrymen as they also by the Jews— ¹⁵the ones also^[e] having killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and having driven us out, and not being pleasing to God, and being contrary^[f] to all people, ¹⁶forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles in order that they might be saved, so that they fill-up^[g] the measure of their sins always. But the wrath^[h] came^[i] upon them to the uttermost^[j].
