帖撒羅尼迦後書 1:9 RCUVTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12

Chapter 18SUFFERING AND GLORY2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 (R.V.)IN the preceding verses of this chapter, as in the opening of the First Epistle, the Apostle has spoken of the afflictions of the Thessalonians, and of the Christian graces which they have developed under them. To suffer for Christ’s sake, he says, and at the same time to abound in faith and love and spiritual joy, is to have the mark of God’s election on us. It is an experience so truly and characteristically Christian that the Apostle... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

(V. 1) Again, the same brotherly character of address is used as in the first epistle. The threatened dangers to the Thessalonians did not change this, except in the use of the more gentle expression "our Father" rather than "the Father," as though to express the fullest identification of these servants of God with the saints. And young though this assembly was, still it enjoyed the same blessed place as do all saints, "in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Does it not remind us of... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

THE THANKSGIVING This epistle was written by Paul soon after the previous one, and for a reason not very different. Acts 17:0 shows that Paul emphasized the second coming of Christ at Thessalonica, which is corroborated by 1 Thessalonians 1:10 . It grew out of this that the anxiety was felt touching the relation of the dead to the living saints at His coming, which was dealt with in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 to 1 Thessalonians 5:12 . But another error arose from the same source which was... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

(7) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (10) When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

5-10 Religion, if worth anything, is worth every thing; and those have no religion, or none worth having, or know not how to value it, cannot find their hearts to suffer for it. We cannot by all our sufferings, any more than by our services, merit heaven; but by our patience under sufferings, we are prepared for the promised joy. Nothing more strongly marks a man for eternal ruin, than a spirit of persecution and enmity to the name and people of God. God will trouble those that trouble his... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 1:1-99

2Thess 1 THE SECOND LETTER to the Thessalonians was evidently written not long after the first, while still they were young in the faith and the more likely to be misled by false teachers, especially in matters pertaining to the coming of the Lord. The opening words are almost exactly the same as in the first letter; Paul again associating with himself the same two fellow-labourers. The condition of this assembly still gave great joy and thankfulness to the Apostle. Their spiritual health was... read more

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds, v. 4. so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure; v. 5. which is a manifest token of... read more
