“Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:3 It is highly observable, that the apostle wraps up his praise of men in praise to God; giving him the glory. Your faith groweth - Probably he had heard from them since his sending the former letter. Aboundeth - Like water that overflows its banks, and yet increaseth still.
1:4 Which ye endure - That ye may be accounted worthy of the kingdom.
2Th 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace. See PNT "Ro 1:7".
