1 Thessalonians 3:12
The Lord (o Kuriov). The Lord Jesus. Paul prays to Christ.
Make you to increase (umav pleonasai). First aorist active optative (wish for future) of pleonazw, late verb from pleon (more),
to superabound.
And abound (perisseusai). First aorist active optative (wish for future) of perisseuw from perissov, old verb, to be over (common in N.T.). It is hard to see much difference between the two verbs.
