1 THESSALONIANS 5:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
He who calls you is faithful, and he will surely do it — the faithfulness (pistos) of God guarantees the fulfillment of the sanctification initiated in the believer. God's call (kaleo) carries within it the power of its own accomplishment. Human weakness is met by divine constancy.
Church Fathers on 1 Thessalonians 5:24
Observe his humility. For, because he had prayed, Think not, he says, that this happens from my prayers, but from the purpose, with which He called you. For if He called you to salvation, and He is true, He will certainly save you, in that He wills it.
