1:9 The penalty of eternal destruction is described as being away from the Lord’s presence. The word destruction does not imply ceasing to exist or annihilation but separation from God in a miserable state. This is why it is described as eternal. There will be a time when God throws all his enemies into the lake of fire to be eternally judged (Rv 20:11-15).
1:10 The saints are the holy people of God. This term refers to all of those called in God’s plan of salvation (1Co 1:2; 2Co 1:1).
1:11-12 In view of this probably refers to the whole preceding passage about the people’s perseverance in persecution. Paul prays for their faithfulness in living Christian lives as a demonstration of their inclusion in God’s grace.
