§ 6. 1Th 3:6-13. The Good News brought by Timothy

Timothy has just returned from Thessalonica; and his report is entirely reassuring (1Th 3:6), so that it gives new life to Paul and Silas (1Th 3:7-8). They know not how to be thankful enough to God for the joy with which their breasts are filled by this good news (1Th 3:9-10), which revives their yearning for the sight of Thessalonian faces. They offer now a solemn prayer that the way may he opened for this journey (1Th 3:11); and that meanwhile the readers may grow in love and be made blameless in holiness, gaining thus a steadfast heart in view of the Lord’s expected coming (1Th 3:12-13).
