Finally, brothers The word "Finally" indicates that Paul is drawing his letter to a close, summarizing his key requests and exhortations. The Greek word used here is "λοιπόν" (loipon), which often serves as a transition to a concluding thought. "Brothers" (ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) reflects the familial bond among believers, emphasizing unity and shared faith. This term is inclusive, addressing both men and women in the congregation, and highlights the early Christian community's sense of kinship. pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor just as it was with you (1) Finally.--The practical portion is introduced in the same manner as in the First Epistle (1Thessalonians 4:1), "for the rest," "as to what I have yet to say." Pray for us.--St. Chrysostom remarks: "Himself had prayed for them; now he asks them to pray for him." How much of a Christian teacher's power, increasing as time goes on, comes from the accumulation of intercession from his spiritual children! St. Paul leaves people praying for him everywhere (Romans 15:30; 2Corinthians 1:11; Ephesians 6:18-19; Colossians 4:3; 1Thessalonians 5:25; comp. Hebrews 13:18). In all these cases the request is for active help in his work of evangelising:" not that he may fall into no danger," says St. Chrysostom, "for that he was appointed unto." (Comp. 2Timothy 2:9.) "That" stands for "in order that," and does not introduce merely the subject of the prayer. . . . Verse 1. - Finally; furthermore; for the rest; introducing the concluding part of the Epistle (see 1 Thessalonians 4:1). Brethren, pray for us (see a similar request in 1 Thessalonians 5:25). Observe the unselfishness of the apostle's request. He does not ask the Thessalonians to pray specially for himself, but for the unimpeded diffusion and success of the gospel, and for himself only in so far as that he might be freed from all hindrances in preaching the gospel - that God would be pleased to crown his labours with success. That; introducing the subject matter of prayer; what he requested the Thessalonians to pray for. The word of the Lord - namely, the gospel - may have free course; literally, may run; that all obstacles to its progress may be removed; that its diffusion may be free and unimpeded; that, like the sun, it may rejoice as a strong man to run his race (Psalm 19:5; comp. Psalm 147:15, "He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly"). And be glorified; namely, in the conversion of souls (comp. Acts 13:48). The allusion may be to the applause given to the victors in the foot races which constituted so considerable a part of the Grecian games. This personification of the Word of the Lord is a favourite figure with the apostle. "In St. Paul's language there is but a thin film between the Holy Ghost, the Divine personal Spirit, and the spirit in the believer's inmost being. And so in St. Paul's conception there is but a thin film between the Word preached and the living Word of God who is God" (Bishop Alexander). Even as it is with you; a recognition of the eagerness with which the Thessalonians had received the gospel.Parallel Commentaries ...
