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. To this end This phrase indicates a purpose or goal. In the context of Paul's letter, it refers to the ultimate aim of the Thessalonians' faith journey. The Greek word "eis" (εἰς) often denotes direction or purpose, suggesting that everything Paul has discussed leads to this point. Historically, the Thessalonian church faced persecution, and Paul is directing their focus towards the divine purpose behind their trials. we always pray for you that our God may count you worthy of His calling and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith Count you worthy of this calling.--The word "this" would, perhaps, have been, better left out; the "calling" of which St. Paul is thinking is the calling "in that day," such as is expressed in Matthew 25:34, and the act is the same as that of 2Thessalonians 1:5. But had they not been called to glory already? Yes (1Thessalonians 4:7), and had obeyed the call; and God was still calling them hourly (see Notes on 1Thessalonians 2:12; 1Thessalonians 5:24); but that was no security that they would remain worthy of that last decisive call. "Many are called, but few chosen." In the original there is some, emphasis laid on the pronoun: "count you" . . . Verse 11. - Wherefore; with a view to this consummation, in order that Christ may be glorified in you. We pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling; or rather, of your calling (R.V.). The calling was, properly speaking, only the commencement of the Christian life, but as it was the first link in a chain that terminated in glory, it is used to denote the whole Christian life - your vocation as Christians. And fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness. The pronoun "his" is not in the original. The words have been differently rendered: some render them "all God's pleasure in our goodness;" others restrict both words to mean "every desire of goodness" (R.V.). And the work of faith; that faith which is active, living, productive of good works (see exposition on 1 Thessalonians 1:3). With power; or, in power; to be taken adverbially, and to be connected with the verb "fulfil:" "That God would mightily fulfil in you all moral goodness, and a faith which is energetic."Parallel Commentaries ...
