2 Thessalonians 1
1. Paul certifies the Thessalonians of the good opinion which he had of their faith, love, and patience;
11. and therewithal uses various reasons for the comforting of them in persecution.














Grace and peace to you
This phrase is a common salutation in Paul's letters, combining both Greek and Hebrew elements. "Grace" (Greek: "charis") refers to the unmerited favor and love of God, a central theme in Christian theology emphasizing salvation as a gift. "Peace" (Hebrew: "shalom") is a rich term encompassing not just the absence of conflict but a holistic sense of well-being and harmony with God. This greeting reflects the unity of Jewish and Gentile believers in the early church, highlighting the inclusivity of the Gospel message.

from God the Father
This phrase emphasizes the source of grace and peace. "God the Father" underscores the intimate relationship believers have with God, who is not distant or impersonal but a loving parent. In the Greco-Roman world, gods were often seen as capricious and distant, but Paul presents God as a caring Father, reinforcing the personal nature of the Christian faith and the familial relationship believers share with Him.

and the Lord Jesus Christ
Here, Paul places Jesus on equal footing with God the Father, a profound statement of Christ's divinity and authority. The title "Lord" (Greek: "Kyrios") was used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) to translate the divine name YHWH, thus attributing to Jesus the highest honor and authority. "Jesus Christ" combines His human name, "Jesus," with His title, "Christ" (Greek: "Christos," meaning "Anointed One" or "Messiah"), affirming both His humanity and His divine mission as the Savior. This dual reference to God the Father and Jesus Christ encapsulates the core of Christian belief in the Trinity and the redemptive work of Christ.
