Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

We give thanks to God always for you all - see the notes, Rom 1:9. Making mention of you in our prayers - See the notes at Eph 1:16. It may be observed here: (1) That the apostle was in the habit of constant prayer. (2) That he was accustomed to extemporary prayer, and not to written prayer.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

We--I, Silvanus, and Timotheus. Ro 1:9 supports ALFORD in translating, "making mention of you in our prayers without ceasing" (1Th 1:3). Thus, "without ceasing," in the second clause, answers in parallelism to "always," in the first.
