First letter to the Thessalonians 2:16

when they continually try to prevent us from preaching to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. [This also happened in Corinth where Paul wrote this, see Acts 18:6.] So they are constantly filling up the measure of their sins. But the wrath of God has finally come upon them.
[Paul himself was a jew, and he wrote to a congregation of both Jews and Greeks. Not all Jews had killed Jesus; the term refers to those who were hostile toward Jesus. The same evil disposition was found among those in Thessalonica and Berea who stirred up the riots that drove Paul from these cities, see Acts 17:1–8, 13–14. The same image of "filling up the measure of sin" is used in Gen. 15:16. Jesus also used it when he spoke to the Pharisees, see Matt. 23:32.]
