Commentary

Matthew Henry on 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4

Here we have, I. The introduction (Th2 1:1, Th2 1:2), in the same words as in the former epistle, from which we may observe that as this apostle did not count it grievous to him to write the same things (Phi 3:1) in his epistles that he had delivered in preaching, so he willingly wrote the same things to one church that he did to another. The occurrence of the same words in this epistle as in the former shows us that ministers ought not so much to regard the variety of expression and elegance of style as the truth and usefulness of the doctrines they preach. And great care should be taken lest, from an affectation of novelty in method and phrases, we advance new notions or doctrines, contrar…

from God our Father--So some oldest manuscripts read. Others omit "our."

Adam Clarke on 2 Thessalonians 1:1

Paul, and Silvanus, etc. - See the notes on Th1 1:1. This epistle was written a short time after the former: and as Silas and Timothy were still at Corinth, the apostle joins their names with his own, as in the former case.

Grace be unto you, and peace,.... See Gill on Romans 1:7.

Paulus et Silvanus et Timotheus Ecclesiae Thessalonicensium in Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo, 2. Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo. 3. 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 aboundeth; 3. Gratias agere debemus Deo semper de vobis, fratres, quemadmodum dignum est, quia vehementer augescit fides vestra,…

The Church Fathers

For while I say that similar things are written of the Son as of the Spirit, I am rather proceeding to the following point. My claim is not that because something is written of the Son, therefore it would appear to be reverently written of the Holy Spirit. Rather, I am contending against the argument that because the same is written of the Spirit, therefore the Son's honor is lessened because of the Spirit. For they say, Is it not written of God the Father? But let them learn that it is also said of God the Father, "In the Lord I will praise the word," and elsewhere, "In God we will do mighty deeds," "My remembrance shall be ever in Thee," and "In Thy name will we rejoice," and again in another place, "That his deeds may be manifested, that they are wrought in God," and by Paul, "In God, who created all things," and again, "Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
— Ambrose of Milan, On the Holy Spirit 2.8.75-76
