12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ^ahad pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Fast

13 But we are¹ bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God ^afrom the beginning ^bchose you for salvation ^cthrough sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

14 to which He called you by our gospel, for ^athe obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, ^astand fast and hold ^bthe traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our¹ epistle.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, ^awho has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and ^bgood hope by grace,

17 comfort your hearts ^aand establish you in every good word and work.

Whereunto (eiv o). The goal, that is the final salvation (swthria). Through our gospel (dia tou euaggeliou hmwn). God called the Thessalonians through Paul's preaching as he calls men now through the heralds of the Cross as God

chose (cf. I Thessalonians 2:12; I Thessalonians 5:24).

To the obtaining (eiv peripoihsin). Probably correct translation rather than possession. See on I Thessalonians 5:9, there

of salvation, here

of glory (the shekinah, glory of Jesus).
