2 Thessalonians 2:14

Verse 14. Wereunto he called you by our gospel. He made the gospel, as preached by us, the means of calling you to salvation. That is, God has chosen you to salvation from eternity, and has made the gospel as preached by us the means of carrying that eternal purpose into effect.

To the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. That you may partake of the same glory as the Saviour in heaven. Jn 17:22,24.

(c) "he called" 1Pet 5:10 (d) "glory of our Lord" Jn 17:22

2 Timothy 2:10

Verse 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes. 2Cor 1:6. The sense is, What I suffer is in the cause of the church, spoken of here, as it is often, as chosen, or elected. Eph 1:4.

That they may also obtain the salvation, etc. Their salvation, though they were elected, could not be secured without proper efforts. The meaning of the apostle here is, that he was willing to suffer if he might save others; and any one ought to be willing to suffer in order to secure the salvation of the elect--for it was an object for which the Redeemer was willing to lay down his life.

(e) "elect's sake" 2Cor 1:6

1 Peter 5:4

Verse 4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear. The prince of the pastors--the Lord Jesus Christ. "Peter, in the passage above, ranks himself with the elders; here he ranks Christ himself with the pastors."--Benson. 1Pet 2:25. Comp. Heb 13:20.

Ye shall receive a crown of glory. A glorious crown or diadem. Comp. 2Ti 4:8.

That fadeth not away. This is essentially the same word, though somewhat different in form, which occurs in 1Pet 1:4. 1Pet 1:4. The word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. Comp. 1Cor 9:25.

(e) "chief Shepherd" Heb 13:20 (f) "crown of glory" 2Ti 4:8
