帖撒罗尼迦后书 3:5 CUVS

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-99

2Thess 3 FINALLY, THE THESSALONIANS were to pray for Paul himself, and that not only in regard to his personal safety but in regard to the work with which he was entrusted. The history recorded in Acts 17.0 shows us how greatly prayer for his safety was needed at this juncture, yet he gave the first place to the work. The word had had full course amongst the Thessalonians and consequently it had been glorified in the wonderful results it produced in them. Paul asked prayer that thus it might... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Thessalonians 3:5

2 Thessalonians THE HEART’S HOME AND GUIDE 2Th_3:5 . A word or two of explanation of terms may preface our remarks on this, the third of the Apostle’s prayers for the Thessalonians in this letter. The first point to be noticed is that by ‘the Lord’ here is meant, as usually in the New Testament, Jesus Christ. So that here again we have the distinct recognition of His divinity, and the direct address of prayer to Him. The next thing to notice is that by ‘the love of God’ is here meant,... read more

Held Firm and Guarded from Evil 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 ; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 This closing section is full of comfort and inspiration.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

In conclusion the apostle urged them to pray for him that the preaching of the Word in other places might be with power and victory. He affirmed his confidence in them, and expressed his desire for their continual patience. In a very practical way he rebuked those who were neglecting their earthly calling, making themselves chargeable to the care of others. As he had not withdrawn himself from the ordinary avocation of his life while ministering the Word to them, it was of the utmost... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 3:5

PATIENT WAITING‘And the Lord direct your hearts … into the patient waiting for Christ.’ 2 Thessalonians 3:5 There is no precipitance with God. St. Paul prays for the Thessalonians, ‘The Lord direct your heart into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.’ And, perhaps, it will hereafter be found that the present season of the Church’s vigil and warfare is the grandest example of the patience of Christ. I. Only as our hearts beat truly with His, only as our most real desires are in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:5

‘And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patient endurance of Christ.’ Once again he prays that their lives may be filled with love resulting from God’s activity within them, and may have patient endurance through Christ’s strengthening (compare 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4). It is possibly love and patient endurance worked in them by God and Jesus Christ, rather than God’s own love and Christ’s own patient endurance, that are in mind, although he may be thinking of Their... read more
