*
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing ,
because ,
when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us ,
ye received it not as the word of men ,
but as it is in truth ,
the word of God ,
which effectually worketh also in you that believe .
*
For ye ,
brethren ,
became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus :
for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen ,
even as they have of the Jews :
*
Who both killed the Lord Jesus ,
and their own prophets ,
and have persecuted us ;
and they please not God ,
and are contrary to all men :
*
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved ,
to fill up their sins alway :
for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost .
