This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Being confident (pepoithōs). Second perfect active of peithō, to persuade.
This very thing (auto touto). Accusative of the inner object with pepoithōs, “this thing itself.”
Will perfect it (epitelesei). Future active indicative of epiteleō, will fully (epi̇) finish. God began and God will consummate it (see note on 2Co 8:6 and note on Gal 3:3 where both words occur together as here), but not without their cooperation and partnership.
Until the day of Jesus Christ (achri hēmeras Christou Iēsou). The second coming as in Phi 1:10. See note on 1Th 5:2, 1Th 5:4; 2Th 1:10; 2Th 2:2; 1Co 1:18; 1Co 3:13; 2Co 1:14; Rom 13:12. Paul never sets the time for the Lord’s return, but he is cheered by that blessed hope.
