We told you beforehand (proelegomen umin). Imperfect active, we used to tell you beforehand. Old verb, rare in N.T. (only in Paul). That we are to suffer persecution (oti mellomen qlibesqai). Mellw and present passive infinitive. Not mere prediction, but God's appointed will as it turned out in Thessalonica.
