[1] {Epaphras}
A touching illustration of priestly service
» See Note "1Pe 2:9"
as distinguished from ministry of gift. Shut up in prison, no longer
able to preach, Epaphras was still, equally with all believers, a
priest. No prison could keep him from the throne of grace, so he gave
himself wholly to the priestly work of intercession.

Scofield Reference Notes Book Introductions The First Epistle of Paul The
(1917 Edition) Apostle to the Thessalonians
See also [1] The Great Doctrines
WRITER The apostle Paul (1.1)
DATE The Epistle was written from Corinth, A.D. 54, shortly after Paul's
departure from Thessalonica (Ac 16., 17.), and is the earliest of
his letters.
THEME The theme of the Epistle is threefold: (1) To confirm young
disciples in the foundational truths already taught them; (2) to
exhort them to go on to holiness; (3) to comfort them concerning
those who had fallen asleep. The second coming of Christ is
prominent throughout. The Epistle is incidentally most interesting
as showing the richness in doctrine of the primitive evangelism.
During a mission of about one month the apostle had taught all the
great doctrines of the Christian faith.
The divisions of the Epistle are sufficiently indicated by the
Chapters.
I. The model church, and the three tenses of the Christian life
1.1-10
II. The model servant and his reward 2.1-20
III. The model brother, and the believer's sanctification 3.1-13
IV. The model walk, and the believer's hope, 4.1-18
V. The model walk, and the day of Jehovah, 5.1-28

[2] {how ye turned}
The tenses of the believer's life here indicated are logical and give
the true order. They occur also in
# 1Th 1:3
The "work of faith" is to "turn to God from idols" (cf)
# Joh 6:28,29
the "labour of love" is to "serve the living and true God"; and the
"patience of hope" is to "wait for his Son from heaven" (cf)
# Mt 24:42 25:13 Lu 12:36-48 Ac 1:11 Php 3:20,21
Paul repeats this threefold sequence in
# Tit 2:11-13
