Kehillah in Thessalonika I 2:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ Even the ones who caused the histalkus of [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua and killed the Nevi’im and persecuted us [Shlichim] severely. Indeed, they are not pleasing Hashem and are hostile to kol Bnei Adam,

¹⁶ By hindering us from speaking to the Goyim in order that the Goyim might find Yeshu’at Eloheinu. Thus they always make complete their peysha’im. So the charon af, the burning wrath, the furious retribution of Hashem has overtaken them at last.

¹⁷ But you, Achim b’Moshiach, while we were separated from you for a short time (panim el panim, not b’lev), we made all the more effort in much desire to see your penemer (faces).
