2 Thessaloniciens 2:5

5 Ne vous souvenez-vous pas que je vous disais ces choses, lorsque j'étais encore chez vous?

2 Thessaloniciens 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Thessalonians 2:5

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you
At Thessalonica, for the apostle had been there in person, and had preached there with great boldness and success; he had declared the whole counsel of God, and the Gospel came in power and worked effectually in them, and yet there was too great a forgetfulness of it; with which the apostle tacitly charges them, and rebukes them gently for it; and as a faithful monitor, stirs up their pure minds by way of remembrance, and reminds them of former truths delivered to them:

I told you these things:
or "words" as the Arabic version; concerning the coming of Christ as that it would not be yet, that there, must be a defection from the faith, and antichrist must be revealed; which shows that these were things of moment and importance, and were useful and profitable to be insisted on; and therefore the apostle had told them of them, and spoke freely and largely about them, at his first preaching among them, and were what he inculcated everywhere; and also that his doctrine was all of a piece at one time as another; it was not yea and nay, or contradictory; what he now said was no other than what he had said before; and therefore it was the more inexcusable in them, to be shaken or troubled by any means with another doctrine.

2 Thessaloniciens 2:5 In-Context

3 Que personne ne vous séduise d'aucune manière; car il faut que l'apostasie soit arrivée auparavant, et qu'on ait vu paraître l'homme du péché, le fils de la perdition,

4 l'adversaire qui s'élève au-dessus de tout ce qu'on appelle Dieu ou de ce qu'on adore, jusqu'à s'asseoir dans le temple de Dieu, se proclamant lui-même Dieu.

5 Ne vous souvenez-vous pas que je vous disais ces choses, lorsque j'étais encore chez vous?

6 Et maintenant vous savez ce qui le retient, afin qu'il ne paraisse qu'en son temps.

7 Car le mystère de l'iniquité agit déjà; il faut seulement que celui qui le retient encore ait disparu.
