- Affected Teaching
- When Paul came to Thessalonica he had gone to the local Synagogue and he
preached and reasoned with the Jews for three weeks. Some of the Jews
believed and also many Greeks had believed. Then if you notice in verse 5,
it was those Jews who did not believe which caused the great uproar. The
modern versions leave this portion out and make it sound like all the Jews
had attacked Paul and the house of Jason but it was only those who were
still unbelievers. This is important to know because the modern versions
indict all the Jews in attendance and the ones who gave Paul the biggest
problem were those who remained in unbelief. The King James Bible does not
indict the believing Jews with the unbelieving Jews but rightly makes a
clear distinction that it was those in unbelief who descended upon Paul and
the house of Jason. Once again the modern versions inject confusion into a
passage where there is none to begin with.
