帖撒罗尼迦后书 3:5 CUVS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 3:5

(5) The Lord.—See Note on 2 Thessalonians 3:3. The Person of the Blessed Trinity to whom this guidance immediately belongs is the Holy Ghost. So far, the Greek expositors are right who are agreed to consider this a proof of the Holy Ghost’s divinity. Their right conclusion is, however, drawn from wrong premise, for the name is not here to be taken as consciously intending Him. The ground for their supposition is that the names “God” and “Christ” occur immediately after, and not (as we might... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

Patience 2 Thessalonians 3:5 'The patience of Christ.' It is so the phrase runs in our R.V. as also in the margin of the A.V., in place of the A.V. 'patient waiting for Christ'. The phrase once spoken is felt to be inevitable; Paul could not have written otherwise. Patience is so truly the word of the Christ life. We have all traced, as St. John does, in the features of the Christ before High Priest or Pilate and on the cross, the likeness of the suffering Servant of Jehovah, who bore our... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

Chapter 22MUTUAL INTERCESSION2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (R.V.)THE main part of this letter is now finished. The Apostle has completed his teaching about the Second Advent, and the events which precede and condition it; and nothing remains to dispose of but some minor matters of personal and practical interest.He begins by asking again, as at the close of the First Epistle, the prayers of the Thessalonians for himself and his fellow workers. It was a strength and comfort to him, as to every minister... read more

3:5 {4} And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.(4) Thirdly, he diligently and earnestly admonishes them of two things which are given to us only by the grace of God, that is, of charity, and a watchful mind to the coming of Christ. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

As in the first epistle, so the apostle again asks for their prayers: first for the positive blessing of the Word of God which thy proclaimed that it might have free course to go forward and be glorified, and secondly on the negative side, that they might be delivered from the oppression of unreasonable and wicked men, for all men had not faith, as indeed his previous reference to "the son of perdition" had fully shown. But it is precious to think of the apostle's so valuing the prayers of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

CONCLUSION The concluding chapter consists of an exhortation to pray for its author (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 ), an expression of his confidence in the faithfulness of those he is addressing (2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 ); a command to them concerning their separation from the unfaithful (2 Thessalonians 3:6-11 ); a command to the unfaithful themselves (2 Thessalonians 3:12-15 ), a benediction and a superscription (2 Thessalonians 3:16-18 ). There is but one thing for which Paul would have them pray on... read more

(1) ¶ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: (2) And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. (3) But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (4) And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

1-5 Those who are far apart still may meet together at the throne of grace; and those not able to do or receive any other kindness, may in this way do and receive real and very great kindness. Enemies to the preaching of the gospel, and persecutors of its faithful preachers, are unreasonable and wicked men. Many do not believe the gospel; and no wonder if such are restless and show malice in their endeavours to oppose it. The evil of sin is the greatest evil, but there are other evils we need... read more
