1Th_2:20. An impassioned answer to the question in 1Th_2:19. Thus γάρ is not causal, but confirmatory, you or truly ye are ( ὑμεῖς ἐστέ , emphatic) our glory and our joy. Comp. Winer, p. 396 [E. T. 558]; Hartung, Partikell. I. p. 473. Flatt and Hofmann refer 1Th_2:19 to the future, to the παρουσίᾳ Χριστοῦ , and 1Th_2:20 to the present: “Ye are now our glory and our joy, therefore I hope that ye will be yet more,” etc. Without justification, as this distinction of time would have been marked by Paul.
