This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God is faithful (pistos ho theos). This is the ground of Paul’s confidence as he loves to say (1Th 5:24; 1Co 10:13; Rom 8:36; Phi 1:16). God will do what he has promised.
Through whom (di' hou). God is the agent (di') of their call as in Rom 11:36 and also the ground or reason for their call (di' hon) in Heb 2:10.
Into the fellowship (eis Koinéōnian). Old word from Koinéōnos, partner for partnership, participation as here and 2Co 13:13.; Phi 2:1; Phi 3:10. Then it means fellowship or intimacy as in Act 2:42; Gal 2:9; 2Co 6:14; 1Jo 1:3, 1Jo 1:7. And particularly as shown by contribution as in 2Co 8:4; 2Co 9:13; Phi 1:5. It is high fellowship with Christ both here and hereafter.
