Ver. ο. ‘Paul means by the phrase, night and day, that he started work be- fore dawn; the usage is regular and fre- quent. He no doubt began so early in order to be able to devote some part of the day to preaching” (Ramsay, Church in Roman Emfire, p. 85). Paul, to the very last (cf. Acts xx. 29 f.), seems to have been sensitive on this point of independence.
Ver.10. “Νε made ourselves yours” (cf. 8), the dative going closely (as Rom. vii. 3) with the verb, which 1s qualified (as in τ Cor. xvi. 10) by the adverbs; so Born., Εἰπά]αγ.- ὑμῖν κ.τ.λ. (dative of possession). Paul had met other people at Thessalonica, but only the Christians could properly judge his real character and conduct.
Ver. 11. καθάπερ, sharper than καθώς. Viteau (ii. 111) suggests that κ. ο. is a parenthesis, and ὡς a causal introductory particle for the participles (‘‘ hearten- ing,” “‘ encouraging,” ‘‘ adjuring ἢ) which in their turn depend on ὑμῖν . .. ἐγενή- @npev, but the likelihood is that in the rush of emotion, as he dictates, Paul leaves the participial clause without a finite verb (so e.g., 2 Cor. vii. 5).--ὡς
πατήρ κ.τ.λ. (cf. ὡς ἐὰν τροφός, 7). The figure was used by Jewish teachers of their relationship to their pupils. Cf. e.g., the words of Eleazar b. Azarja to his dying master, “‘ Thou art more to Israel than father or mother; they only bring men into this world, whereas thou guid- est us for this world and the next”. Catullus, Ixxii. 4 (dilexi tum te non tan- tum ut uulgus amicam, sed pater ut natos diligit et generos).
