This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

We desire (ἐπιθυμοῦμεν)

Strongly, earnestly. Comp. Mat 13:17; Luk 22:15. The manifestations just mentioned make the writer desire that they may exhibit more of the spirit which animates their beneficent works.

Each (ἕκαστον)

He is concerned, not only for the body of believers, but for each member.

To the full assurance of hope unto the end (πρὸς τὴν πληροφορίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἄρχι τέλους)

That is, we desire that each of you exhibit the same diligence to develop your hope, which is in danger of failing, into full assurance, unto the end of the present season of trial with its happy consummation. Comp. Rom 8:24. For πληροφορία see on 1Th 1:5, and comp. Rom 4:21; Rom 14:5. It is practically the same whether we translate full development or full assurance. The two meanings coalesce. Hope develops into full assurance.
