11 as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and1 charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,
12 athat you would walk worthy of God bwho calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
Their Conversion
13 For this reason we also thank God awithout ceasing, because when you breceived the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it cnot as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively dworks in you who believe.
14 For you, brethren, became imitators aof the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For byou also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,
15 awho killed both the Lord Jesus and btheir own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God cand are contrary to all men,
16 aforbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always bto fill up the measure of their sins; cbut wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
