Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea which are in Christ Jesus; for you, also, have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, that they have suffered from the Jews, ¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and do not please God, and are opposed to all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, in order that they may fill up their sins at all times: but the wrath is coming upon them to the full.
