Drawing on the aspects of grace that John M. G. Barclay identifies, this essay examines the understandings of grace found in 2 Thessalonians. We find that 2 Thessalonians “perfects” (pushes to the extreme) the superabundance and emphasizes the priority of God’s gift of grace. Unlike what Barclay finds in Romans and Galatians, 2 Thessalonians does not perfect the incongruity of grace. It allows that there is a sense in which God has chosen the appropriate people to give grace. Because it does not perfect the incongruity between the worthiness of the recipient and the offer of grace, its view of grace is similar to that of the Wisdom of Solomon. Seeing that 2 Thessalonians does not perfect incongruity as Paul does in Romans and Galatians may offer a new perspective from which to think about its authorship.

本文根据约翰·MG·巴克莱（John MG Barclay）所确定的恩典方面，考察了2个帖撒罗尼迦人对恩典的理解。我们发现2个帖撒罗尼迦人“完美”（推动到了极致）超额生活，并强调了上帝恩典恩赐的优先考虑。与巴克莱在罗马书和加拉太书中所发现的不同，帖撒罗尼迦前书2并没有完善恩典的不一致。它允许神在某种意义上选择适当的人来给予恩典。因为它不能使接受者的价值与提供恩典之间的矛盾变得完美，所以它的恩典观与所罗门的智慧相似。看到2帖撒罗尼迦人并不完全像保罗在罗马书和加拉太书中所说的那样不一致，这可能会提供一个新的视角来思考其作者身份。
