Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
Finally, х To (G3588) loipon (G3063)] - 'As to what remains.'
Pray for us - as I have prayed for you (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). May have free course, х trechee (G5143)] - 'may run,' without a drag on the wheels of its course. That the now-creating word may 'run' as "swiftly" as the creative word at the first (Psalms 147:15). The opposite is, the word of God "bound" (2 Timothy 2:9).
Glorified - by sinners accepting it (stronger than in Acts 13:48; Galatians 1:23-24). Contrast "evil spoken of" (1 Peter 4:14).
As it is with you (1 Thessalonians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).
