This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

5. C reads ευαγγ. του θεου (instead of ημων); א του θεου ημων, by conflation: this aberrant variation may be due to the influence of 1Th 2:2; 1Th 2:8 f.

ACDGKP, &c., influenced by the context, repeat εν before πληροφοριᾳ—wanting in אB 17.

εν before υμιν is supported by BDG and the T.R., against אACP 17 67** in which it is wanting; cf. note on 1Th 1:4 above. Here εν might easily be dropped after εγενηθημεν, and would hardly be officiously inserted: transcriptional probability favours its genuineness. In 1Th 2:10 εν is absent in construction with this verb; but εγενηθημεν is there qualified by adverbs which the bare dative suits, while in this place διʼ υμας suggests the antithetical εν υμιν: see 1Th 3:7, 1Th 4:14; 2Co 1:11; 2Co 1:20; 2Co 3:18; Rom 1:17, for the like Pauline play upon prepositions.
