1 Thessalonians 2:14–15

2:14 For you became imitators, brothers and sisters,17 of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, because you too suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they in fact did from the Jews, 2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets18 and persecuted us severely.19 They are displeasing to God and are opposed to all people,

17	tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:4.
18	tc ἰδίους (idious, “their own prophets”) is found in D1 Ψ 𝔐 sy McionT. This is obviously a secondary reading. Marcion’s influence may stand behind part of the tradition, but the Byzantine text probably added the adjective in light of its mention in v. 14 and as a clarification or interpretation of which prophets were in view.
19	tn Or “and drove us out” (cf. Acts 17:5–10).
