| Summary: | This article examines recent commentaries and translations of 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15, especially the issue of whether the clause describing the Jews is restrictive or not.

This interpretation, which entails punctuation without a comma at the end of v. 14 (in English and Greek), clarifies a number of exegetical problems. |
