1 Thessalonians 1:8

1:8 For from you the message of the Lord ¹  has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, ²  so that we do not need to say anything.

1 Thessalonians 2:16

2:16 because they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they constantly fill up their measure of sins, ³  but wrath ⁴  has come upon them completely. ⁵ 

[1:8]  ¹ tn Or “the word of the Lord.”

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “your faith in God has gone out.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Grk “to fill up their sins always.”

[2:16]  ⁴ tc The Western text (D F G latt) adds τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) to ὀργή (orgh) to read “the wrath of God,” in emulation of the normal Pauline idiom (cf., e.g., Rom 1:18; Eph 5:6; Col 3:6) and, most likely, to clarify which wrath is in view (since ὀργή is articular).

[2:16]  ⁵ tn Or “at last.”
