Verse
3. We are appointed hereto - Are in every respect laid in a fit
posture for it, by the very design and contrivance of God himself
for the trial and increase of our faith and all other graces. He gives
riches to the world; but stores up his treasure of wholesome
afflictions for his children.
Verse
6. But now when Timotheus was come to us from you -
Immediately after his return, St. Paul wrote; while his joy was
fresh, and his tenderness at the height.
Verse
8. Now we live - Indeed; we enjoy life: so great is our affection
for you.
Verse
10. And perfect that which is wanting in your faith - So St. Paul
did not know that "they who are once upon the rock no longer
need to be taught by man."
Verse
11. Direct our way - This prayer is addressed to Christ, as well as
to the Father.
Verse
13. With all his, Christ's, saints - Both angels and men.
