1 Thessalonians 3:12
_ _ The “you” in the Greek is emphatically put first; “But” (so the Greek for “and”) what concerns “YOU,” whether we come or not, “may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love,” etc. The Greek for “increase” has a more positive force; that for “abound” a more comparative force, “make you full (supplying ‘that which is lacking,’ 1 Thessalonians 3:10) and even abound.” “The Lord” may here be the Holy Spirit; so the Three Persons of the Trinity will be appealed to (compare 1 Thessalonians 3:13), as in 2 Thessalonians 3:5. So the Holy Ghost is called “the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:17). “Love” is the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and His office is “to stablish in holiness” (1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Peter 1:2). |
1 Thessalonians 3:12
(3) And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all [men], even as we [do] toward you:
(3) Another part of the epistle, in which he speaks of the duties of a Christian life. And he shows that the perfection of a Christian life consists in two things, that is, in charity toward all men, and inward purity of the heart. And the accomplishment of these things is nonetheless deferred to the next coming of Christ, who will then perfect his work by the same grace with which he began it in us. |
