(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

We told you beforehand (proelegomen humin). Imperfect active, we used to tell you beforehand. Old verb, rare in N.T. (only in Paul).

That we are to suffer persecution (hoti mellomen thlibesthai). Mellō and present passive infinitive. Not mere prediction, but God’s appointed will as it turned out in Thessalonica.
