groweth.The word, [huperauxano ,] from [huper ,] intensive, and [auxano ,] to grow, increase, signifies, as Dr. Clarke remarks, to grow luxuriantly, as a good and healthy tree in a good soil; and, if a fruit tree, bearing an abundance of fruit to compensate the labour of the husbandman.
Faith is one of the seeds of the kingdom:
this the Apostle had sowed and watered, and God gave an abundant increase.
Their faith was multiplied, and their love abounded:
and this was not the case with some distinguished characters only; it was the case with every one of them.
For this the apostle felt himself bound to give continual thanks to God on their behalf, as it was "meet" and right.
 What of their joy of hope in the Holy Ghost? Of this he says nothing. And the absence is the more striking, because in the introduction to the first epistle he had spoken of remembering without ceasing, not only their work of faith and labor of love, but also their patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Here, to the close observer, there is an ominous silence on any such enduring constancy of hope. (On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4 by W. Kelly)
 The Apostle at least rejoiced at the increase of their faith and the abundant exercise of their love, while he is silent with regard to their hope; and the joy of Christian life is not found here as it was manifested in the first epistle. (2 Thessalonians 1 by J.N. Darby)
 This was much; but what of their joy of hope in the Holy Ghost? Of this he says nothing….Yet there is nothing said to damp their hearts, but all he could say to encourage. (On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4 by W. Kelly)
 But patience and faith need the power of hope to sustain in freshness. There will and must be a lack when Christ is not personally before the heart as One who may at any moment come to receive His own to Himself. (On 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4 by W. Kelly)
