1 Thessalonians 2:14.— Having before commended them for their ready and cheerful reception of the gospel, and hinted at their resolution in suffering for the cause, he goes on to commend them for their patience and fortitude, 1Th 2:14-16 and then again expresses his great affection for the Thessalonians, and his earnest desire to make them another visit; which he assures them he had more than once attempted; but Satan had always hindered him: by which vehement expression he again obliquely... read more

Divine working is most of all seen and felt in affliction. in Judea—The churches of Judea were naturally the patterns to other churches, as having been the first founded, and that on the very scene of Christ's own ministry.

2. How the gospel was received 2:13-16Paul reminded his readers how they had welcomed the gospel message to vindicate further his own ministry and to emphasize the importance of proclaiming this message. He did this so the Thessalonians would continue to herald it abroad as they had been doing."This section of the letter begins with the second thanksgiving in a series of three (1 Thessalonians 1:2-5; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13) that dominate the tone of the first three... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Thessalonians 2:14

By believing the gospel the Thessalonians had followed in the train of many others who, when they believed the truth, also found that they attracted enemies. The reference to the Jews here is probably to the unbelieving Jews who opposed the Christians in Thessalonica rather than a general reference to all Jews."Persecution inevitably arises from the outside when a Christian patterns his life after the Lord."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-20

The Nature of St. Paul’s Life and Work at Thessalonica2. The persecution at the Roman garrison-town of Philippi made a deep impression on St. Paul the Roman citizen (Acts 16:19-40; Philippians 1:30). It was the indignity that hurt him.Contention] better, ’conflict.’3. It would seem that St. Paul was at first looked upon by some as an impostor, seeking his own ends.

The churches of Judæa are probably selected for example, not only as being the oldest and best-organised churches, but the most afflicted, both by want (Acts 11:29; Acts 24:17; Romans 15:26), and (chiefly) by persecution from the “Jews.”Your own countrymen.—See Acts 17:8-9.
