Thomas Aquinas, on 1Thess 2:12
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
1Thess 2:12 · Douay-Rheims
“We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.”
On this verse:
“And what were you told? To lead a life worthy of God, that is, that your conduct should be such that it might reflect favorably on the ministers of Christ. "To lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him" (Col. 1:10). Who calls you into his own kingdom and glory, as is evident also in "Honor wisdom, that you may reign for ever" (Wis. 6:21).”
