1 διο μηκετι στεγοντες ευδοκησαμεν καταλειφθηναι εν αθηναις μονοι, 2 και επεμψαμεν τιμοθεον, τον αδελφον ημων και διακονον του θεου και συνεργον ημων εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου, εις το στηριξαι υμας και παρακαλεσαι υμας περι της πιστεως υμων, 3 το μηδενα σαινεσθαι εν ταις θλιψεσιν ταυταις. αυτοι γαρ οιδατε οτι εις τουτο κειμεθα· 4 και γαρ οτε προς υμας ημεν, προελεγομεν υμιν οτι μελλομεν θλιβεσθαι, καθως και εγενετο και οιδατε. 5 δια τουτο καγω μηκετι στεγων επεμψα εις το γνωναι την πιστιν υμων, μη πως επειρασεν υμας ο πειραζων και εις κενον γενηται ο κοπος ημων. 6 αρτι δε ελθοντος τιμοθεου προς ημας αφ υμων και ευαγγελισαμενου ημιν την πιστιν και την αγαπην υμων, και οτι εχετε μνειαν ημων αγαθην, παντοτε επιποθουντες ημας ιδειν καθαπερ και ημεις υμας, 7 δια τουτο παρεκληθημεν, αδελφοι, εφ υμιν επι παση τη θλιψει και αναγκη ημων δια της υμων πιστεως· 8 οτι νυν ζωμεν, εαν υμεις στηκητε εν κυριω. 9 τινα γαρ ευχαριστιαν δυναμεθα τω θεω ανταποδουναι περι υμων επι παση τη χαρα η χαιρομεν δι υμας εμπροσθεν του θεου ημων, 10 νυκτος και ημερας υπερεκπερισσου δεομενοι εις το ιδειν υμων το προσωπον και καταρτισαι τα υστερηματα της πιστεως υμων; 11 αυτος δε ο θεος και πατηρ ημων και ο κυριος ημων ιησους χριστος κατευθυναι την οδον ημων προς υμας· 12 υμας δε ο κυριος πλεονασαι και περισσευσαι τη αγαπη εις αλληλους και εις παντας, καθαπερ και ημεις εις υμας, 13 εις το στηριξαι υμων τας καρδιας αμεμπτους εν αγιωσυνη εμπροσθεν του θεου και πατρος ημων εν τη παρουσια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων των αγιων αυτου.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    … and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do towards you; to the end He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints."
