We are bound--Greek, "We owe it as a debt" (Th2 2:13). They had prayed for the Thessalonians (Th1 3:12) that they might "increase and abound in love"; their prayer having been heard, it is a small but a bounden return for them to make, to thank God for it. Thus, Paul and his fellow missionaries practice what they preach (Th1 5:18). In Th1 1:3, their thanksgiving was for the Thessalonians' faith, love, and patience"; here, for their exceeding growth in faith, and for their charity abounding. "We are bound" expresses the duty of thanksgiving from its subjective side as an inward conviction. "As it is meet," from the objective: side as something answering to the state of circumstances [ALFORD]. Observe the exact correspondence of the prayer (Th1 3:12, "The Lord make you to abound in love") and the answer, "The love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth" (compare Th1 4:10). meet--right.
افتح المصدر ↗After the introduction (Th2 1:1, Th2 1:2) the apostle begins this epistle with an account of his high esteem for these Thessalonians (Th2 1:3, Th2 1:4). He then comforts them under their afflictions and persecutions (Th2 1:5-10) and tells them what his prayers were to God for them (Th2 1:11, Th2 1:12).
افتح المصدر ↗1:3-10 After thanking God for the Thessalonian church (1:3-4), Paul writes about persecution (1:4), which had intensified since his first letter (1 Thes 1:6; 2:14; 3:3-4). God will relieve their suffering (2 Thes 1:5-10) and judge their persecutors. 1:3 Dear brothers and sisters: Greek adelphoi, a generic term that refers to members of the same family, both male and female. • thank God: Paul begins with thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ faith, love, and “endurance” (1:4). These fundamental Christian virtues (see 1 Cor 13:13; Col 1:4-5; Heb 10:21-24; 1 Pet 2:1-22) were maturing in the church despite the persecution they endured (2 Thes 1:5).

Pوَلكِنِ انْمُوا فِي النِّعْمَةِ وَفِي مَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. لَهُ الْمَجْدُ الآنَ وَإِلَى يَوْمِ الدَّهْرِ. آمِينَ.
أَمَّا سَبِيلُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ فَكَنُورٍ مُشْرِق، يَتَزَايَدُ وَيُنِيرُ إِلَى النَّهَارِ الْكَامِلِ.
وَهذَا أُصَلِّيهِ: أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُمْ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَفِي كُلِّ فَهْمٍ،
فَمِنْ ثَمَّ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ نَسْأَلُكُمْ وَنَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَسَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَّا كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا وَتُرْضُوا اللهَ، تَزْدَادُونَ أَكْثَرَ.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَيَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَشْكُرَ اللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ، أَنَّ اللهَ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ لِلْخَلاَصِ، بِتَقْدِيسِ الرُّوحِ وَتَصْدِيقِ الْحَقِّ.
كُلُّ غُصْنٍ فِيَّ لاَ يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ يَنْزِعُهُ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ يُنَقِّيهِ لِيَأْتِيَ بِثَمَرٍ أَكْثَرَ.
وَالرَّبُّ يُنْمِيكُمْ وَيَزِيدُكُمْ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ وَلِلْجَمِيعِ، كَمَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا لَكُمْ،
أَوَّلاً، أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، أَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يُنَادَى بِهِ فِي كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ.
فَقَالَ الرُّسُلُ لِلرَّبِّ:«زِدْ إِيمَانَنَا!».
كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْتَكِرَ هذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، لأَنِّي حَافِظُكُمْ فِي قَلْبِي، فِي وُثُقِي، وَفِي الْمُحَامَاةِ عَنِ الإِنْجِيلِ وَتَثْبِيتِهِ، أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ جَمِيعُكُمْ شُرَكَائِي فِي النِّعْمَةِ.
