2 Thessalonians 1:3

German Interlinear 1979 (Interlinearübersetzung)

Zu danken schulden wir Gott allezeit im Blick auf euch, Brüder, wie angemessen es ist, weil stark wächst euer Glaube und zunimmt die Liebe jedes einzelnen von allen euch gegeneinander,

Was bedeutet das?

The Apostle Paul is expressing gratitude to the Thessalonians for their growing faith and love towards each other. He believes it's important to thank God for these qualities in them.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have a friend who always shares their toys with others and gets better at playing games every day. That’s like what Paul is saying about the Thessalonians: they’re getting better at faith, just like your friend gets better at playing games, and they love each other more too!

Historischer Hintergrund

This verse comes from a letter written by Apostle Paul to the church in Thessalonica around 50-52 AD. The recipients were early Christians facing challenges in their community, so Paul's words of encouragement and gratitude are particularly significant.

Anwendung für heute

In modern times, this can apply to someone working on building stronger relationships within a family or at work. Just as the Thessalonians grew in faith and love, we too can focus on improving our trust in each other and our bonds through kindness.
