1 Thessalonians 1:3
_ _ work of faith — the working reality of your faith; its alacrity in receiving the truth, and in evincing itself by its fruits. Not an otiose assent; but a realizing, working faith; not “in word only,” but in one continuous chain of “work” (singular, not plural, works), 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10; James 2:22. So “the work of faith” in 2 Thessalonians 1:11 implies its perfect development (compare James 1:4). The other governing substantives similarly mark respectively the characteristic manifestation of the grace which follows each in the genitive. Faith, love, and hope, are the three great Christian graces (1 Thessalonians 5:8; 1 Corinthians 13:13).
_ _ labour of love — The Greek implies toil, or troublesome labor, which we are stimulated by love to bear (1 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 2:2). For instances of self-denying labors of love, see Acts 20:35; Romans 16:12. Not here ministerial labors. Those who shun trouble for others, love little (compare Hebrews 6:10).
_ _ patience — Translate, “endurance of hope”; the persevering endurance of trials which flows from “hope.” Romans 15:4 shows that “patience” also nourishes “hope.”
_ _ hope in our Lord Jesus — literally, “hope of our Lord Jesus,” namely, of His coming (1 Thessalonians 1:10): a hope that looked forward beyond all present things for the manifestation of Christ.
_ _ in the sight of God and our Father — Your “faith, hope, and love” were not merely such as would pass for genuine before men, but “in the sight of God,” the Searcher of hearts [Gomarus]. Things are really what they are before God. Bengel takes this clause with “remembering.” Whenever we pray, we remember before God your faith, hope, and love. But its separation from “remembering” in the order, and its connection with “your ... faith,” etc., make me to prefer the former view.
_ _ and, etc. — The Greek implies, “in the sight of Him who is [at once] God and our Father.” |
1 Thessalonians 1:3
Remembering in the sight of God — That is, praising him for it. Your work of faith — Your active, ever — working faith. And labour of love — Love continually labouring for the bodies or souls of men. They who do not thus labour, do not love. Faith works, love labours, hope patiently suffers all things. |
1 Thessalonians 1:3
(2) Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
(2) He commends them for three special gifts: effectual faith, continual love, and patient hope. And he does this to the end that they might be ashamed, being endued with such excellent gifts, not to continue in God's election. |
- Remembering:
1 Thessalonians 3:6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see] you:

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

James 2:17-26 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. ... For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
