This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Th 2:14. Εἰς ὅ, Whereunto) The phrase, to salvation, is hereby explained.-εἰς περιποίησιν, [to the obtaining, Engl. V.] to the deliverance) εἰς is resumed the second time: supply, namely. There is no περιποίησις, or mere deliverance (preservation[22]), from the shipwreck of the world, but as it is conjoined with glorification, 2Ti 2:10. περιούσιον, in Deut., cited above, is in consonance with this.-ΤΟῦ) [ΚΥΡΊΟΥ] construed with ΠΕΡΙΠΟΊΗΣΙΝ [not with ΔΌΞΗς, as Engl. Vers.]
[22] Beng. understands περιποίησιν of “that which remains when all else perishes.” He translates it conservationis in Eph 1:14, and distinguishes it from redemption by the blood of Christ. Here liberatio, viz. final deliverance, which is connected with glory, and which is to be the gift of our Lord Jesus.-ED.
