Institutes of Elenctic Theology by Francis Turretin
Second Thess. 2:15 does not sanction unwritten traditions, but designates the twofold method of delivering the same doctrine by the voice and by writing. The disjunctive particle eite, which can also be considered copulative (as in Rom. 12*:8; 1 Cor. 15:11; Col. 1:20), marks a diversity not of the thing, but of the mode, which might beone or the other, especially in those primitive days when the canon of the New Testament Scriptures was not yet completed. Again, although all things were not contained in the epistle to the Thessalonians, it does notfollow that they were not to be found elsewhere in the Scriptures.
