This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Th_5:24. Paul knows that he does not implore God in vain. For God is faithful; He keeps what He promises; if He has called the Thessalonians to a participation in His kingdom, He will preserve them pure and faultless even to its commencement.

πιστός ] comp. 2Th_3:3; 1Co_1:9; 1Co_10:13. Τὸ πιστὸς ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀληθής , Theodoret.

ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς ] not equivalent to ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς (Koppe and others), but the present participle used as a substantive, and therefore without regard to time: your Caller. See Winer, p. 316 [E. T. 444].

ὃς καὶ ποιήσει ] who also will perform it, sc. τὸ ἀμέμπτως ὑμᾶς τηρηθῆναι .
