Background on Pelagius

In his own words on 2 Thessalonians

  • 2 Thessalonians 1:6

    "Since indeed" suggests confirmation, not doubt. It is as if Paul had said that since the source of righteousness can judge what is righteous, just as God has promised rest for those who suffer for his name, so tribulation will come for those who make tribulation for the faithful.

Quoted verbatim from public-domain English translations — including the Ante-Nicene and Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers and the early patristic chain-commentary compiled in the Catena Aurea. Each quotation links to its source.
