But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Ver. 3. But God is faithful] Though men be faithless; and though they be evil, as 2 Thessalonians 3:2, yet he shall keep you from evil, from whatsoever adverse power either of men or devils. Thus the saints may find and fetch comfort from God under whatsoever disasters. They go always under a double guard, the peace of God within them, Philippians 4:7, φρουρησει, and the power of God without them, 1 Peter 1:5, φρουρουμενοι. How then can they possibly miscarry?
