1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews; ¹⁵ Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men; ¹⁶ Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.
