1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
New Life Version
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
New Life Version
14 Christian brothers, you became just like the churches in the country of Judea. You had to suffer from the men in your country as those churches had to suffer from the Jews. 15 It was the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the early preachers. The Jews made it hard for us and made us leave. They do not please God and are working against all men. 16 They tried to keep us from preaching the Good News to the people who are not Jews. The Jews do not want them saved from the punishment of sin. The lives of the Jews are full of more sin all the time. But now God’s anger has come to them at last.

New International Version
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
New International Version
14 For 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 15 who killed the Lord Jesus(D) and the prophets(E) and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone 16 in 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]
