This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Th 1:10. Καὶ ἀναμένειν, and to wait for) The compound, ἀναμένειν, is applied to Him who has so gone away, as that He is about to come [again], Joh 14:3, note; Act 1:11, note. I do not altogether deny the return, but I say that the coming is elegantly used for His return, because the glorious coming has very many things altogether new connected with it. [To be waiting for [Him], is the most certain characteristic of the true Christian.-V. g.]-ὅν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, whom He raised from the dead) The preeminent (palmarium) argument is here brought in, from which [viz. His resurrection] it is evident, that Jesus is the Son of God.-ῥυόμενον, Who delivers) Christ once ἐλυτρώσατο, hath redeemed us, He alway ῥυέται, delivers us.-ἀπὸ τῆς ὀργῆς τῆς ἐρχομένης, from the wrath to come) The wrath comes at the last judgment, ch. 1Th 5:9.
