1 THESSALONIANS 2:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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:”
Who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind — the harsh judgment here reflects Paul's acute pain at Jewish opposition to the gospel; the rejection of Jesus continues the pattern of prophetic rejection. The phrase 'displease God' (aprosdekktos) indicates cosmic disapproval of this resistance. The rejection of salvation's offer incurs the wrath of the God who offers it.
