Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Thessalonians 3:16

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

16. Lord of peace —Jesus Christ. The same title is given to Him as to the Father, "the GOD of peace" ( Romans 15:33 ; Romans 16:20 ; 2 Corinthians 13:11 ). An appropriate title in the prayer here, where the harmony of the Christian community was liable to interruption from the "disorderly." The Greek article requires the translation, "Give you the peace" which it is "His to give." "Peace" outward and inward, here and hereafter ( 2 Corinthians 13:11- : ). always —unbroken, not changing with outward circumstances. by all means — Greek, "in every way." Most of the oldest manuscripts read, "in every place "; thus he prays for their peace in all times ("always") and places. Lord be with you all —May He bless you not only with peace, but also with His presence ( Matthew 28:20 ). Even the disorderly brethren (compare Matthew 28:20- : , "a brother") are included in this prayer. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
