Nearby Context

2 Thessalonians 3:1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us that the word of God may run and may be glorified, even as among you:

2 Thessalonians 3:2 And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men: for all men have not faith.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "glorified", "rest", "brethren", "pray", "word", and "even". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "glorified" and "rest", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "And that we may be delivered from...", so "glorified" and "rest" should be read forward into that movement. In 2 Thessalonians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "glorified" and "rest" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
