1 Thessalonians 3:2
_ _ minister of God and our fellow labourer — Some oldest manuscripts read, “fellow workman with God”; others, “minister of God.” The former is probably genuine, as copyists probably altered it to the latter to avoid the bold phrase, which, however, is sanctioned by 1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:1. The English Version reading is not well supported, and is plainly compounded out of the two other readings. Paul calls Timothy “our brother” here; but in 1 Corinthians 4:17, “my son.” He speaks thus highly of one so lately ordained, both to impress the Thessalonians with a high respect for the delegate sent to them, and to encourage Timothy, who seems to have been of a timid character (1 Timothy 4:12; 1 Timothy 5:23). “Gospel ministers do the work of God with Him, for Him, and under Him” [Edmunds].
_ _ establish — Greek, “confirm.” In 2 Thessalonians 3:3, God is said to “stablish”: He is the true establisher: ministers are His “instruments.”
_ _ concerning — Greek, “in behalf of,” that is, for the furtherance of your faith. The Greek for “comfort” includes also the idea, “exhort.” The Thessalonians in their trials needed both (1 Thessalonians 3:3; compare Acts 14:22). |
- Timotheus:
Acts 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek:
Acts 17:14-15 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. ... And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Acts 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.
