1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴For you, brothers and sisters, 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 people, ¹⁶^(H)hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles ^(I)so that they may be saved; with the result that they always ^[d]^(J)reach the limit of their sins. But ^(K)wrath has come upon them ^[e]fully.

New International Version

¹⁴For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators^(A) of God’s churches in Judea,^(B) which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people^(C) the same things those churches suffered from the Jews ¹⁵who killed the Lord Jesus^(D) and the prophets^(E) and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone ¹⁶in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles^(F) so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit.^(G) The wrath of God has come upon them at last.^[a]
