In his own words on 2 Thessalonians

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:3

    But God is faithful: That is, He always fulfills His promises. He will strengthen you: That is, against the deceptions of the false apostles. and he will guard you from evil: Especially while under persecution and tyrrany.

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:7

    For you yourselves know: That is, knowing from experience.

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:14

    Or, commune with him, but at the same time shun him. so that he may be ashamed: In this way he will come to his senses and repent from his evil ways.

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:16

    May the Lord be with all of you: That is, at the present time and in the future glory.
