A modest little commentary on 1 Thessalonians 1

I started today a short commentary on 1 Thessalonians, following that Daily Bible Reading schedule for slow readers, remember? Not having anyone to finish up the year for us in The Fellowship Room, I'm doing the last two weeks myself. The idea of these comments are to encourage us in the reading of Scripture. My base text was the NET Bible. Comments are by paragraph, of which there are three in this chapter, which has only 10 verses. Not much for a single day's reading, is it?
