ACC ~ 1 Thessalonians 1 v1

WITHOUT TITLE. CHRYSOSTOM: Here Paul gives himself no title. He refers to himself neither as “an apostle” nor as “a servant.” Paul avoids such titles, I suppose, because the Thessalonians were newly instructed and still didn’t know Paul well. His preaching ministry to this church was just beginning. HOMILIES ON 1 THESSALONIANS 1.

A DIVINE HARMONY. ORIGEN: Two made a symphony, Paul and Sosthenes, when writing the first epistle to the Corinthians. After this Paul and Timothy sang in harmony when they wrote their second letter to the same church. And even three made a symphony when Paul and Silvanus and Timothy gave instruction by letter to the Thessalonians. COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW 14.1.
