2Th_1:1-2. Address and salutation. See on 1Th_1:1.

ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου Ι . Χρ .] from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ; not: from God who is the Father and Lord of Jesus Christ. For, according to the Pauline custom, the fulness of Christian blessings is derived in common from God and Christ. The absolute πατρός (comp. Gal_1:3; 1Ti_1:2; 2Ti_1:2; Tit_1:4) is equivalent to πατρὸς ἡμῶν , more frequently used elsewhere in similar places; comp. Rom_1:7; 1Co_1:3; 2Co_1:2; Eph_1:2; Php_1:2; Col_1:2; Phm_1:3.
