1 Thessalonians 2:3
_ _ For — The ground of his “boldness” (1 Thessalonians 2:2), his freedom from all “deceit, uncleanness, and guile”; guile, before God, deceit (Greek, “imposture”), towards men (compare 2 Corinthians 1:12; 2 Corinthians 2:17; Ephesians 4:14); uncleanness, in relation to one’s self (impure motives of carnal self-gratification in gain, 1 Thessalonians 2:5), or lust; such as actuated false teachers of the Gentiles (Philippians 1:16; 2 Peter 2:10, 2 Peter 2:14; Jude 1:8; Revelation 2:14, Revelation 2:15). So Simon Magus and Cerinthus taught [Estius].
_ _ exhortation — The Greek means “consolation” as well as “exhortation.” The same Gospel which exhorts comforts. Its first lesson to each is that of peace in believing amidst outward and inward sorrows. It comforts them that mourn (compare 1 Thessalonians 2:11; Isaiah 61:2, Isaiah 61:3; 2 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:4).
_ _ of — springing from — having its source in — deceit, etc. |
1 Thessalonians 2:3
For our exhortation — That is, our preaching. A part is put for the whole. Is not, at any time, of deceit — We preach not a lie, but the truth of God. Nor of uncleanness — With any unholy or selfish view. This expression is not always appropriated to lust, although it is sometimes emphatically applied thereto. Nor in guile — But with great plainness of speech. |
