This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2Th 2:15. Ἄρα οὖν, therefore then) The conclusion.-κρατεῖτε, hold) adding nothing, subtracting nothing.-τὰς παραδόσεις, the traditions) I wish that those who are most urgent on the subject of Traditions, had also from this passage held, and would hold, the traditions which Paul has furnished in this chapter. Tradition is a very great benefit. God bestows traditions by means of the messengers of the Gospel. Paul taught many years before he began to write. Tradition is given either by speaking [comp. 2Th 2:5] or by writing.-διʼ ἐπιστολῆς, by letter) He had written on this subject, 1 Thessalonians 4, 5.
