SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:13

para que sean confirmados vuestros corazones en santidad, irreprensibles delante del Dios y Padre nuestro, para la venida del Seor nuestro Jess, el Cristo, con todos sus santos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 3:13

Verse 13. To the end he may establish your
hearts] Without love to God and man, there can be no establishment in the religion of Christ. It is love that produces both solidity and continuance. And, as love is the fulfilling of the law, he who is filled with love is unblamable in holiness: for he who has the love of God in him is a partaker of the Divine nature, for God is love.

At the coming of our Lord] God is coming to judge the world; every hour that passes on in the general lapse of time is advancing his approach; whatsoever he does is in reference to this great event: and whatsoever we do should be in reference to the same. But who in that great day shall give up his accounts with joy? That person only whose heart is established in holiness before God; i.e., so as to bear the eye and strict scrutiny of his Judge. Reader, lay this to heart, for thou knowest not what a moment may bring forth. When thy soul departs from thy body it will be the coming of the Lord to thee.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. To the end he may stablish your hearts , etc.] Which are very unstable and inconstant in their frames, and in the exercise of grace, and have need to be established in the love of God, against the fears of men, the frowns of the world, the temptations of Satan, and in, and with the doctrines of grace; (see Gill on 1 Thessalonians 3:2), unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father . There is no holiness in men naturally; what is in them without the grace of God is only a show; true holiness is from the Spirit of God; and this is a stable thing in itself, and can never be removed or taken away; but the acts of it, through the prevalence of corruption, the force of Satan's temptations, and the snares of the world, are fickle and inconstant; and the saints need to be established in the discharge of duty, as well as in the exercise of grace: and whereas the apostle prays, that they might be unblamable in holiness, the Alexandrian copy reads, in righteousness so one of Stephens's; it must be observed, that no man is perfectly holy in this life; no man is without sin in himself, or lives without the commission of it; holiness in the best is imperfect; no man, as yet, is in himself sanctified wholly; there is no unblamable holiness but in Christ; and in him the saints are without spot and blemish, who is their sanctification and their righteousness; but in themselves they are full of spots and stains; yet through the grace of God their hearts may be so established with principles of holiness, and they may be so assisted in the acts of it daily, as to give no just cause of blame to men, and so to behave as to approve themselves before God, who sees the heart, and knows from what principles all actions flow: and this the apostle desires may be at the coming of our Lord Jesus; or unto the coming of him, as in ( 1 Thessalonians 5:23) Either at death, when he comes into his garden, and gathers his lilies, and takes his to himself to be for ever with him; or at the day of judgment, when he comes to judge the quick and dead; and which coming of his is certain, and will be quickly and suddenly, and with great glory and power: and, as it is here added, with all his saints ; meaning either his holy angels, or rather the souls of his people, whom he will bring with him, and will raise their dead bodies, and reunite them to their souls, when they shall be for ever with him; and then shall they be unblamable in holiness, both in soul and body, and shall be presented by him, first to himself, and then to his Father, faultless, and without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, Amen; and so does Beza's ancient copy, and the Alexandrian manuscript.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-13 - Prayer is religious
worship, and all religious worship is due unto God only. Prayer is to be offered to God as our Father. Prayer is not onl to be offered in the name of Christ, but offered up to Christ himself as our Lord and our Saviour. Let us acknowledge God in all our ways and he will direct our paths. Mutual love is required of all Christians. And love is of God, and is fulfilling the gospel as well a the law. We need the Spirit's influences in order to our growth i grace; and the way to obtain them, is prayer. Holiness is required of all who would go to heaven; and we must act so that we do no contradict the profession we make of holiness. The Lord Jesus wil certainly come in his glory; his saints will come with him. Then the excellence as well as the necessity of holiness will appear; an without this no hearts shall be established at that day, nor shall an avoid condemnation __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. With all his
saints (meta pantwn twn agiwn autou). Saints is often explained as angels; but the meaning is the holy and glorified people of God. OiJ agioi is uniformly used of these in N.T. and never of angels unless joined with aggeloi. See Luke ix. 26; Mark viii. 38; Acts x. 22. It is doubtful if oiJ agioi is used of angels in LXX. Zech. xiv. 5, which is confidently cited as an instance, is quoted at the conclusion of the Didache (xvi. 7), clearly with the sense of glorified believers. %Agioi aggeloi appears Tob. xi. 14; xii. 15; Job v. 1. Angels has no connection with anything in this Epistle, but glorified believers is closely connected with the matter which was troubling the Thessalonians. See ch. iv. 13. This does not exclude the attendance of angels on the Lord's coming (see Mark viii. 38; Luke ix. 26), but when Paul speaks of such attendance, as 2 Thessalonians i. 7, he says, with the angels (aggelwn) of his power.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

3:13 {To the end he may stablish} (eis to sterixai). Another example of eis and the articular infinitive of purpose. Same idiom in #3:2. From sterizw, from sterigx, a support. {Unblameable} (amemptous). Old compound adjective (a privative and verbal of memfomai, to
blame). Rare in N.T. Predicate position here. Second coming of Christ again.
