People's Commentary (NT)
1 Thessalonians 1:1
Introductory Greetings
SUMMARY OF I THESSALONIANS 1: Salutation. Thanksgiving for the Faith of
the Thessalonians. Commendation for Spreading the Gospel. The Great
Change in Their Lives.
Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus. Silvanus is the same as the Silas
of Acts. We learn from Acts (chapters 15 to 18) that both Silas and
Timothy attended Paul on the second missionary journey during which the
Epistle was written. Paul does not speak of his apostleship in this
salutation, as in later epistles, because at this early period the
Judaizing Christians had not begun to spread doubts whether he was an
apostle.
In God the Father. Hence, separated from the Gentiles.
{in] the Lord Jesus Christ. Hence, separated from the Jews.
Grace [be] unto you, and peace. See PNT "Ro 1:7".
