corrected at this point by the information of 1 Thess. ii. 17-iii, 6. According to Luke, Silas and Timotheus remained at Beroea, under orders to rejoin Paul as soon as possible. They only reached him at Corinth (Acts xviii. 5), however. Now since Timotheus, as we know from Paul, visited Thessalonica in the meantime…

their exceptional opportunities,' and their widespread reputation, moved him to a pardonable pride. But, as he learnt, they had been suffering persecution since he left, and this awakened sympathy as well as concern for its effects on their faith.

a personal insult but likely to prove a serious menace to the interests of his friends at Thessalonica.

The coincidence of ii. 7 and Luke xxii. 27 is not indeed sufficient to warrant any such inference, while the different meanings of καλεῖν in ii. 12 and in the parable of Luke xiv. 15 f. (cf. ver. 24) prevent any hypothesis of a connection. On the other hand ii. 14-16 certainly contains a reminiscence of the logia p…

as that of II. iii. 17, should have occurred in the earliest of Paul’s letters; in view of ii, 3, its appearance, after the composition of 1 Thess. and even of other letters, is psychologically valid.

The occurrence of ἐπιφάνεια (ii. 8), elsewhere only in the pastorals, is cer- tainly striking, and were there more of these words, the case for a later date would be reinforced. But there are not.
