2 THESSALONIANS 2:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ — the calling (kaleo) comes through the apostolic gospel; its goal is the 'glory of our Lord Jesus Christ' (doxa kyriou Iēsou Christou). Inclusion in Christ's eschatological glory is the ultimate purpose.
Church Fathers on 2 Thessalonians 2:14
This too is no little thing, if Christ considers our salvation His glory. For it is the glory of the Friend of man that they that are saved should be many. Great then is our Lord, if the Holy Spirit so desires our salvation. Why did he not say faith first? Because even after sanctification we have yet need of much faith, that we may not be shaken. Do you see how He shows that nothing is of themselves, but all of God?
