1 Ts. 1:1‑10• 1Pablo, y Silvano, y Timoteo, á la iglesia de los Tesalonicenses que es en Dios Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo: Gracia y paz á vosotros de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
 2Damos siempre gracias á Dios por todos vosotros, haciendo memoria de vosotros en nuestras oraciones;
 3Sin cesar acordándonos delante del Dios y Padre nuestro de la obra de vuestra fe, y del trabajo de amor, y de la tolerancia de la esperanza del Señor nuestro Jesucristo:
 4Sabiendo, hermanos amados de Dios, vuestra elección:
 5Por cuanto nuestro evangelio no fué á vosotros en palabra solamente, mas también en potencia, y en Espíritu Santo, y en gran plenitud; como sabéis cuáles fuimos entre vosotros por amor de vosotros.

• Never, in short, whatever the number do we in Scripture hear of " assemblies" in a city (as of a province), but always of " the assembly." No doubt the apostle addresses those at Ephesus and Colosse and Philippi and Rome as " saints"; but this, because of the truth he was communicating by the Spirit of God, and not because of their greater num bers. In fact, we read of "the assembly in Ephesus" (Rev. 2:1) after his epistle to " the saints ' as well as before (Acts 20:17.) (“On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4” by W. Kelly)
• In the second epistle, the delusion which false teachers sought to foist on the saints, and even with the claim of the Spirit, and a pretended letter of the apostle, concerned the living whom the enemy endeavored to shake and trouble under the apprehension of the presence of the day. All knew that the day of the Lord is to be ushered in by darkness and divine judgments, and these Satan sought to inflict on the saints so as to fill them with terror and distress....(Isa. 2-4:13; Jer. 30; Joel 2:3; Amos 5; Zeph. 1-3). (“On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4” by W. Kelly)
• As in the first epistle, the apostle does not immediately grapple with the error, but prepares the hearts of the saints gradually and on all sides so as to clench the truth and exclude the error once it is exposed. This is the way, of divine grace and wisdom; the heart is set right, and not the mere point of error or evil dealt with. (“On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4” by W. Kelly)
• "Our" is added here, as compared with the opening formula in the first epistle. Is it not to rivet emphatically those saints, who, however well they walked in most respects, needed to be reminded more than ever of their common relationship with him who wrote, and with all saints, to Him whose grace is the source of all blessing? (“On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4” by W. Kelly)
