10. Night and day —(See on :- ). Night is the season for the saint's holiest meditations and prayers ( 2 Timothy 1:3 ). praying —connected with, "we joy"; we joy while we pray; or else as ALFORD, What thanks can we render to God while we pray? The Greek implies a beseeching request. exceedingly —literally, "more than exceeding abundantly" (compare 2 Timothy 1:3- : ). that which is lacking —Even the Thessalonians had points in which they needed improvement [BENGEL], ( 2 Timothy 1:3- : ). Their doctrinal views as to the nearness of Christ's coming, and as to the state of those who had fallen asleep, and their practice in some points, needed correction ( 2 Timothy 1:3- : ). Paul's method was to begin by commending what was praiseworthy, and then to correct what was amiss; a good pattern to all admonishers of others. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
