This Epistle did Paul write of exceeding love and care, and praiseth them in the two first chapters, because they did receive the Gospel earnestly, and had in tribulation and 1persecution, continued therein steadfastly, and were become an ensample unto all congregations, and had thereto suffered of their own kinsmen, as Christ and his apostles did of the Jews, putting them thereto in mind, how purely and godly he had lived among them to their ensample, and thanketh God, that his gospel had brought forth such fruit among them.

- 1Not the receiving of the Gospel, but the continuance to the latter end, maketh us blessed.Not the receauyng of the Gospel, but the cō tinuaunce to the latter ende, maketh vs blessed.
In the third chapter he showeth his 1diligence and care, least his so great labour, and their so blessed a beginning should have been in vain, Satan & his apostles vexing them with persecution, and destroying their faith with mens doctrine. And therefore he sent Timothy to them to comfort them, and strengthen them in the faith, and thanketh GOD, that they had so constantly endured, and desireth God to increase them.
