1 Thessalonians 2:15-17

New Life Version

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.

¹⁷ Christian brothers, because we have not been able to be with you, our hearts have been with you. We have wanted very much to see you.
