{How holily and righteously and unblameably} (h(9373) hosi(9373)
kai dikai(9373) kai amempt(9373)). Paul calls the Thessalonians and God
as witnesses (martures) to his life toward you the believers
(humin tois pisteuousin) dative of personal interest. He
employs three common adverbs that show how holily toward God and
how righteously toward men so that they did not blame him and his
associates in either respect. So there is a reason for each
adverb. All this argues that Paul spent a considerable time in
Thessalonica, more than the three sabbaths mentioned by Luke. The
pastor ought to live so that his life will bear close inspection.
