HE ASKS THEIR PRAYERS: HIS CONFIDENCE IN THEM: PRAYER FOR THEM: CHARGES AGAINST DISORDERLY IDLE CONDUCT; HIS OWN EXAMPLE: CONCLUDING PRAYER AND SALUTATION. (2Th. 3:1-18) Finally--literally, "As to what remains." may have free course--literally, "may run"; spread rapidly without a drag on the wheels of its course. That the new-creating word may "run," as "swiftly" as the creative word at the first (Psa 147:15). The opposite is the word of God being "bound" (Ti2 2:9). glorified--by sinners accepting it (Act 13:48; Gal 1:23-24). Contrast "evil spoken of" (Pe1 4:14). as it is with you-- (Th1 1:6; Th1 4:10; Th1 5:11).
