Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

Chapter 6IMPEACHMENT OF THE JEWS1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 (R.V.)THESE verses complete the treatment of the subject with which this chapter opens. The Apostle has drawn a moving picture of his life and labours in Thessalonica; he has pointed to it as his sufficient vindication from all the charges laid against him. Before carrying the war into the enemies’ camp, and depicting the traditions and the spirit of his traducers, he lingers again for a moment on the happy results of his work. In spite of... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Thessalonians 2:14

2:14 {12} For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in {g} Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own {h} countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:(12) He strengthens and encourages them in their afflictions which they suffered among their own people, because they were afflicted by their own countrymen. And this happened, he says, to the churches of the Jews, as well as to them: and therefore they ought to take it in good part.(g)... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-20

We are to consider now that which had great effect in producing the energetic, devoted response to the gospel such as we have seen in the Thessalonians. Certainly it is the Word of God itself that is responsible for this, as insisted on in verse 13. Yet the living effects of that Word in the Lord's servants had such an effect as to attach the hearts of the Thessalonians to that Word as being not the word of men but in truth the Word of God. How precious is such work! If souls are drawn to the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16

REMINISCENT For the story of the founding of this church by Paul, examine Acts 17:0 . We call the first section of the epistle the reminiscent part, because the apostle is referring to what had taken place in Thessalonica at that time. It opens with the usual salutation 1 Thessalonians 1:1 , in which Silas and Timothy are named with Paul, not as co-writers, but co-workers with him when in that city, and so known to the church. The thanksgiving follows, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 , in which is... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-20

Chapter 2 1 He willeth them to continue stedfast in the truth received, 3 sheweth that there shall be a departure from the faith, 9 and a discovery of antichrist, before the day of the Lord come. 15 And thereupon repeateth his former exhortation, and prayeth for them. 1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled [with a view to your being not quickly shaken from your... read more

(13) ¶ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. (14) For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: (15) Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

13-16 We should receive the word of God with affections suitable to its holiness, wisdom, truth, and goodness. The words of men are frail and perishing, like themselves, and sometimes false, foolish, and fickle; but God's word is holy, wise, just, and faithful. Let us receive and regard it accordingly. The word wrought in them, to make them examples to others in faith and good works, and in patience under sufferings, and in trials for the sake of the gospel. Murder and persecution are hateful... read more

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

1Thess 2 IN HIS FIRST chapter the Apostle had alluded to “what manner of men” he and his fellow-workers were among the Thessalonians when they first arrived amongst them with the Gospel, and intimated that the power which had accompanied the message was largely connected with the unblameable character of the messengers. He returns to this subject at the opening of chapter 2. Paul and his friends found at Thessalonica a door opened of the Lord, and they consequently gained a most effectual... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16

The Manner in Which the Thessalonians Received the Gospel They accepted the Gospel and bore its burdens: v. 13. for this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the Word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. v. 14. For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like... read more
