Commentary

your hearts--which are naturally the spring and seat of unholiness. before God, even our Father--rather, "before Him who is at once God and our Father." Before not merely men, but Him who will not be deceived by the mere show of holiness, that is, may your holiness be such as will stand His searching scrutiny. coming--Greek, "presence," or "arrival." with all his saints--including both the holy angels and the holy elect of men (Th1 4:14; Dan 7:10; Zac 14:5; Mat 25:31; Th2 1:7). The saints are "His" (Act 9:13). We must have "holiness" if we are to be numbered with His holy ones or "saints." On "unblameable," compare Rev 14:5. This verse (compare Th1 3:12) shows that "love" is the spring of true "holiness" (Mat 5:44-48; Rom 13:10; Col 3:14). God is He who really "stablishes"; Timothy and other ministers are but instruments (Th1 3:2) in "stablishing." Next: 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4
