The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: 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:
TH1 2:15 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:
TH1 2:16 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.
TH1 2:17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in
presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face
with great desire.
