1 Thessalonians 2:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and forced us to leave that country. They do not please God and are against all people. ¹⁶ They try to stop us from teaching those who are not Jews so they may be saved. By doing this, they are increasing their sins to the limit. The anger of God has come to them at last.

Paul Wants to Visit Them Again

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, though we were separated from you for a short time, our thoughts were still with you. We wanted very much to see you and tried hard to do so.
