2 Tessalonicenses 1:1
The beginning of the letter starts with the usual form of words, and the three men in whose name it is written are the same as in the first letter.
2 Tessalonicenses 1:3
Paul adds in a fitting manner, so that they testify that great thanks must be given to God for such an infinite gift.
2 Tessalonicenses 1:8
What is more just than for those who oppress the righteous in this world and make them suffer persecution, to suffer the same things in the future that they do: while they themselves rest with the other saints, who, coming out of great tribulation, will receive the eternal kingdom in the coming of the Lord from heaven; when he begins to come with his heavenly army and with fire to give vengeance to the pagans, who do not know that God the Father is Jesus Christ; and to the Jews, who, though claiming to know God, do not believe in the Gospel of Christ, which the Father God gave to them, in order to hand it down to his servants? — Commentary on 2 Thessalonians
2 Tessalonicenses 1:10
It contains a double meaning; for he will come to punish the wicked and to glorify the good. For he himself will appear glorious and marvelous to those who believe, following the example and faith of the apostles, when they are crowned, and the Gospel testifies to them on the day of the Lord. However, he will appear severe to the unbelievers, when they begin to be confined by eternal punishments. For the glory of the disciples is the crown, and its truth is the punishment of the unbelievers; because what was preached was not believed. — Commentary on 2 Thessalonians
