1 Thessalonians 2:15
_ _ the Lord Jesus — rather as Greek, “Jesus THE LORD.” This enhances the glaring enormity of their sin, that in killing Jesus they killed the Lord (Compare Acts 3:14, Acts 3:15).
_ _ their own — omitted in the oldest manuscripts.
_ _ prophets — (Matthew 21:33-41; Matthew 23:31-37; Luke 13:33).
_ _ persecuted us — rather as Greek (see Margin), “By persecution drove us out” (Luke 11:49).
_ _ please not God — that is, they do not make it their aim to please God. He implies that with all their boast of being God’s peculiar people, they all the while are “no pleasers of God,” as certainly as, by the universal voice of the world, which even they themselves cannot contradict, they are declared to be perversely “contrary to all men.” Josephus [Against Apion, 2.14], represents one calling them “Atheists and Misanthropes, the dullest of barbarians”; and Tacitus [Histories, 5.5], “They have a hostile hatred of all other men.” However, the contrariety to all men here meant is, in that they “forbid us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved” (1 Thessalonians 2:16). |
1 Thessalonians 2:15
Us — Apostles and preachers of the gospel. They please not God — Nor are they even careful to please him, notwithstanding their fair professions. And are contrary to all men — Are common enemies of mankind; not only by their continual seditions and insurrections, and by their utter contempt of all other nations; but in particular, by their endeavouring to hinder their hearing or receiving the gospel. |
1 Thessalonians 2:15
(13) Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; (14) and they please not God, and are contrary to (i) all men:
(13) He prevents an offence which might be taken, because the Jews especially above all others persecuted the Gospel. That is no new thing, he says, seeing that they slew Christ himself, and his Prophets, and have banished me also.
(14) He foretells the utter destruction of the Jews, lest any man should be moved by their rebellion.
(i) For the Jews would neither enter into the kingdom of God themselves, nor allow others to enter in. |
