1 Thessalonians 4:7

4:7 For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness.

1 Thessalonians 3:6

3:6 But now Timothy has come ¹  to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection ²  and long to see us just as we also long to see you! ³ 

1 Thessalonians 2:18

2:18 For we wanted to come to you (I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) ⁴  but Satan thwarted us.

1 Thessalonians 5:9

5:9 For God did not destine us for wrath ⁵  but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:10

1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath. ⁶ 

1 Thessalonians 2:15-16

2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets ⁷  and persecuted us severely. ⁸  They are displeasing to God and are opposed to all people, 2:16 because they hinder us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they constantly fill up their measure of sins, ⁹  but wrath ¹⁰  has come upon them completely. ¹¹ 

1 Thessalonians 1:8

1:8 For from you the message of the Lord ¹²  has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, ¹³  so that we do not need to say anything.

[3:6]  ¹ tn Grk “but now Timothy having come,” a subordinate clause leading to the main clause of v. 7.

[3:6]  ² tn Grk “you have a good remembrance of us always.”

[3:6]  ³ tn Grk “just as also we you.”

[2:18]  ¹ tn Or “several times”; Grk, “both once and twice.” The literal expression “once and twice” is frequently used as a Greek idiom referring to an indefinite low number, but more than once (“several times”); see L&N 60.70.

[5:9]  ¹ sn God did not destine us for wrath. In context this refers to the outpouring of God’s wrath on the earth in the day of the Lord (1 Thess 5:2-4).

[1:10]  ¹ sn The coming wrath. This wrath is an important theme in 1 Thess 5.

[2:15]  ¹ tc ἰδίους (idious, “their own prophets”) is found in D¹ Ψ Ï sy Mcion^T. This is obviously a secondary reading. Marcion’s influence may stand behind part of the tradition, but the Byzantine text probably added the adjective in light of its mention in v. 14 and as a clarification or interpretation of which prophets were in view.

[2:15]  ² tn Or “and drove us out” (cf. Acts 17:5-10).

[2:16]  ¹ tn Grk “to fill up their sins always.”

[2:16]  ² tc The Western text (D F G latt) adds τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) to ὀργή (orgh) to read “the wrath of God,” in emulation of the normal Pauline idiom (cf., e.g., Rom 1:18; Eph 5:6; Col 3:6) and, most likely, to clarify which wrath is in view (since ὀργή is articular).

[2:16]  ³ tn Or “at last.”

[1:8]  ¹ tn Or “the word of the Lord.”

[1:8]  ² tn Grk “your faith in God has gone out.”
