Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

1 Thessalonians 2:15

Persecuted [ε κ δ ι ω ξ α ν τ ω ν]. Rev. more literally and correctly, drave out. The word only here, though it occurs as an alternative reading, Luke 11:49. Probably with special reference to his own expulsion from Thessalonica. Acts 17:5-10.

Contrary to all men. Tacitus (Hist. 5 5) describes the Jews as stubborn in their faith, prompt in kindly offices to each other, but bitterly hostile toward everybody else : Juvenal (Sat. 14 102 f.) says that they observe and respect whatever Moses has taught in his mystical volume; not to show the way except to one who practices the same rites, and to show the well only to the circumcised.
