Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:8

Theological / Devotional

For now we live. In contrast with the troubled existence, conditioned by affliction and distress, that the apostles had been enduring.

If ye stand fast. For the significance of “stand fast” see on Phil. 1:27. Paul states that so long as the Thessalonians remain steadfast, he and his companions will enjoy life in its tidiest Christian sense. Such a heartfelt expression of love and his ardent interest in their eternal welfare must have encouraged the Thessalonians to be faithful.
