1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became ^(A)imitators of ^(B)the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are ^(C)in Judea, for ^(D)you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, ^(E)even as they did from the Jews, ^15 (F)who both killed the Lord Jesus and ^(G)the prophets, and ^[a]drove us out. ^[b]They are not pleasing to God, ^[c]but hostile to all men, ^16 (H)hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles ^(I)so that they may be saved; with the result that they always ^(J)fill up the measure of their sins. But ^(K)wrath has come upon them ^[d]to the utmost.
