TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:10 that day: The day of the Lord (2:2; 1 Thes 5:2-4; see “The Day of the Lord” Theme Note).

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

“He Will Come”

Jesus promised his followers that he would return so that he could bring them to be with him forever (John 14:1-3). Immediately after Jesus ascended to heaven, the apostles received a message that he would someday come back (Acts 1:9-11). And in the visions that are recounted in the book of Revelation, John again hears from Jesus the promise of his return (22:6-20).

This final consummation of all things—the “day of the Lord” (2:2)—will come when least expected, like “a thief in the night” (1 Thes 5:2). Only the Father knows when that day will be (Matt 24:36; Acts 1:6-7). The present is not a time for speculation but for hope and confidence. Setting dates and times is not the way Christians should approach questions about the end. Scripture teaches about final things (eschatology) to give hope in the midst of trouble and perspective on present life and conduct. Hence, though Paul lays out certain events that will precede the day of the Lord, such as apostasy and the appearance of the man of lawlessness (2 Thes 2:1-12), the details are not the focus of his attention. Rather, he reminds his audience of these events (2 Thes 2:5) in order to refute false teaching and to encourage believers who are facing persecution (2 Thes 1:3-10).

When Christ comes, he will destroy the enemies of the Good News, rescue persecuted believers (2 Thes 1:7-10), and gather his followers to be with him for eternity (1 Thes 4:13-17). This future event calls for a present response. Those who receive the Good News and live for God can have confidence of rescue. Those who reject God will experience everlasting destruction. God’s choosing and calling of believers is their hope and comfort (2:13-14). They can stand firm in the present as they face the future (2:14-15), knowing what will be the outcome when he comes.

SOTNSIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:3–12: Jesus Christ will return and will reward his people as they deserve

This section begins the main part of Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians. Paul thanked God that the Thessalonian believers were still believing firmly in Jesus even though people were persecuting them. He also prayed that everyone would see that the Thessalonian believers were behaving in a manner that would please Jesus Christ when he returns.

Paragraph 1:5–10

It is a good idea to start a new paragraph here, because Paul was teaching about a different theme: God’s judgment. Throughout 1:5–10, Paul talked repeatedly about two related ideas:

  1. that the Thessalonian believers were suffering because non-Christians were persecuting them;

  2. that God would do what was right and just.

1:10a

on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints

on the day He comes: That is, the day when the Lord Jesus will return to earth. Those who do not know God will be punished on that day.

to be glorified in His saints: This phrase indicates one purpose for the Lord Jesus’ return.

to be glorified: This means that people will honor/praise the Lord Jesus. As this is a passive verb, there is no subject given. If you can use a passive verb, you should do so. Otherwise you could make “His saints” the subject of the verb, as in the second Meaning Line in the Display.

in His saints: Scholars do not agree about how this phrase is connected to the phrase “to be glorified” and therefore what the Greek word en (in) means here. The literal translation of the BSB is ambiguous. There are three possibilities:

  1. It gives the reason why Jesus will be glorified, that is, he will be glorified because of what he has done for believers (for example, saving them). Most commentators support this option. (NCV, SSA)

  2. It gives the agent of the action, that is, he will be glorified by his people. (GNT, NRSV, CEV, NLT)

  3. It gives a location, that is, Jesus will be glorified among his people. (REB, GW, NJB)

It is recommended that you follow the first option (1), which has the best support in the commentaries.

His saints: The phrase His saints is translated from the Greek word hagioi, which literally means “holy ones.” It often is translated “saints” but it is important to recognize that in the New Testament, this refers to all believers in Christ, not just to people who are very good. One way to translate it is “those who belong to God.” See the word “saint” under holy, sense A3a in KBT. See also “holy” in the glossary, meaning 1 and "saint”, also in the glossary.

1:10b

and regarded with wonder by all who have believed,

and regarded with wonder by all who have believed: This part of the verse is parallel to 1:10a. Obviously, all who have believed refers to the same people as “his saints” in 1:10a. It is less clear whether the verb thaumazō, which the BSB translates regarded with wonder, should be considered to mean the same as “glorify” in 1:10a. The two verbs in Greek are quite distinct, so it is better to follow the majority of English versions and use two verbs.

regarded with wonder: That is, “to be wondered at, to cause people to be amazed.” Once more the verb is passive, so no subject has been supplied. If you need to use an active verb in your language, you should use the same subject as you did in 1:10a.

1:10c

including you who have believed our testimony.

including you: Although the Greek text does not say this, it is helpful for showing how 1:10b and the rest of 1:10c connect together. Paul’s message was believed by many people in Thessalonica, and so they will be among Jesus’ “saints” and “those who have believed.”

our testimony: Paul used the Greek word marturion here, which the BSB translates as testimony to make it clear that Paul and his companions preached about what they had actually seen God do.

Here, the two verbs to be glorifiedand to be marveled at indicate the result of Jesus’ coming, not the purpose. Use a connector here that indicates result. Alternate translation: [as his saints glorify him and all those who have believed marvel at him] or [with the result that his saints will glorify him and all those who have believed will marvel at him]

The saints and the ones having believed are one group of people, not two. If your readers might be confused by this, you could combine these into one phrase.
