1 Thessalonians 2:16

English Standard Version

16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last![1] (Ge 15:16; Ac 13:45; Ac 13:50; Ac 14:2; Ac 14:19; Ac 17:5; Ac 17:13; Ac 18:12; Ac 22:21; 1Th 1:10) 

New International Version

16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.[1] 

New International Reader’s Version

16 They try to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles. These Jews don’t want the Gentiles to be saved. In this way, these Jews always increase their sins to the limit. God’s anger has come on them at last. 

King James Version

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.
