shamefully entreated
1 Thessalonians 2:2
2:2 shamefully entreated. The Thessalonians were well aware of Paul’s beating and imprisonment at Philippi shortly before he and Silas had come to Thessalonica (Acts 16:22-24). Paul had not been intimidated, but proceeded on to preach the gospel in the synagogue at Thessalonica, where he and Silas soon again encountered opposition (Acts 17:1-9).
