1 Thessalonians - 3:8 Meaning

“For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:6-10 Thankfulness to God is very imperfect in the present state; but one great end of the ministry of the word is to help faith forward. That which was the instrument to obtain faith, is also the means of increasing and confirming it, namely, the ordinances of God; and as faith cometh by hearing, so it is confirmed by hearing also.

“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
