1 Tessalonicesi 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 Tessalonicesi 3:7 In-Context

5 Perciò anch’io, non potendo più resistere, mandai ad informarmi della vostra fede, per tema che il tentatore vi avesse tentati, e la nostra fatica fosse riuscita vana.

6 Ma ora che Timoteo è giunto qui da presso a voi e ci ha recato liete notizie della vostra fede e del vostro amore, e ci ha detto che serbate del continuo buona ricordanza di noi bramando di vederci, come anche noi bramiamo vedervi,

7 per questa ragione, fratelli, siamo stati consolati a vostro riguardo, in mezzo a tutte le nostre distrette e afflizioni, mediante la vostra fede;

8 perché ora viviamo, se voi state saldi nel Signore.

9 Poiché quali grazie possiam noi rendere a Dio, a vostro riguardo, per tutta l’allegrezza della quale ci rallegriamo a cagion di voi nel cospetto dell’Iddio nostro,
