The Greek word for "shaken" is "sainō," which conveys the idea of being disturbed or unsettled. In the historical context, the Thessalonian church was facing persecution and trials, which could easily cause believers to waver in their faith. Paul’s use of this word emphasizes the importance of spiritual stability and resilience. The imagery here is akin to a building that withstands an earthquake, highlighting the need for a firm foundation in Christ. This exhortation is a reminder that faith should remain steadfast despite external pressures. by these trials For you know that we are destined for this For yourselves.--"Your previous expectation that Christianity involved the suffering of persecution ought to be enough to prevent you now from losing your faith."

Are appointed thereunto; namely, by God. Our afflictions do not result from chance, but are the necessary consequence of our Christianity; they arise from the appointment and ordinance of God.
