This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Th 5:9. Ἔθετο, hath appointed) So the LXX., Psa 66:9, τοῦ θεμένου τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ξωήν, who hath placed (holdeth) my soul in life; Jdg 1:28, ἔθετο τὸν Χαναναῖον εἰς φόρον, put the Canaanite to tribute; where indeed the Vatican reading has ἐποίησε, but ἔθετο was a phraseology certainly not unusual with the transcriber.-περιποίησιν σωτηρίας) Salvation of that sort is intended, by which they who are saved are taken out (excepted) from the multitude of those that perish.[30]
[30] See note on Eph 1:14, as to the meaning of περιποίησις. It is said of that which remains, when all else is lost. So here of the elect saved, when all others are lost.-ED.
