1 Thessalonians 2:12 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. That ye would walk worthy of God - That they should, in every respect, act up to their high calling, that it would not be a reproach to the God of holiness to acknowledge them as his sons and daughters. See the notes on Ephesians 4:1; Philippians 1:27 (note); and Colossians 1:10 (note).

His Kingdom and glory - His Church here, for that is the kingdom of God among men; and his glory hereafter, for that is the state to which the dispensations of grace in his Church lead. The words, how ever, may be a hendiadys, and signify his glorious kingdom.

1 Thessalonians 2:12
