1 Tesalonicenses 3:7

7 Por eso, hermanos, en medio de todas nuestras angustias y sufrimientos ustedes nos han dado ánimo por su fe.

1 Tesalonicenses 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Thessalonians 3:7

Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over, you
Or "in you", as the Vulgate Latin version; or "from you", as the Arabic; or "by you", as the Syriac; or "for you", as the Ethiopic; that is, on account of them, either by what they had heard was in them, or had heard from them. This gave abundant consolation

in all our affliction and distress:
which they met with at Corinth, where the apostle laboured with his own hands, and ministered to his own, and the necessities of others, and was greatly opposed, reproached, and persecuted; see ( Acts 18:3 Acts 18:6 Acts 18:9 Acts 18:10 Acts 18:12 ) , but the news of the good estate and condition the Thessalonians were in, was a great relief and comfort to him, particularly their faith:

by your faith:
by the report of it, that it grew exceedingly, and that they walked in the truth; see ( 1 John 5:4 ) . The Alexandrian copy reads, "in all your distress and affliction, and by your faith."

1 Tesalonicenses 3:7 In-Context

5 Por eso, cuando ya no pude soportarlo más, mandé a Timoteo a indagar acerca de su fe, no fuera que el tentador los hubiera inducido a hacer lo malo y que nuestro trabajo hubiera sido en vano.

6 Ahora Timoteo acaba de volver de Tesalónica con buenas noticias de la fe y del amor de ustedes. Nos dice que conservan gratos recuerdos de nosotros y que tienen muchas ganas de vernos, tanto como nosotros a ustedes.

7 Por eso, hermanos, en medio de todas nuestras angustias y sufrimientos ustedes nos han dado ánimo por su fe.

8 ¡Ahora sí que vivimos al saber que están firmes en el Señor!

9 ¿Cómo podemos agradecer bastante a nuestro Dios por ustedes y por toda la alegría que nos han proporcionado delante de él?
