1 Thessalonians 2:15-17

21st Century King James Version

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!

¹⁷ But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time (in presence, but not in heart), endeavored the more abundantly and with great desire to see your face.
