Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:12

12. beseech—"Exhort" is the expression in 1 Thessalonians 5:14; here, "we beseech you," as if it were a personal favor (Paul making the cause of the Thessalonian presbyters, as it were, his own). know—to have a regard and respect for. Recognize their office, and treat them accordingly (compare 1 Corinthians 16:18) with reverence and with liberality in supplying their needs (1 Corinthians 16:18- :). The Thessalonian Church having been newly planted, the ministers were necessarily novices (1... read more

13. very highly—Greek, "exceeding abundantly." for their work's sake—The high nature of their work alone, the furtherance of your salvation and of the kingdom of Christ, should be a sufficient motive to claim your reverential love. At the same time, the word "work," teaches ministers that, while claiming the reverence due to their office, it is not a sinecure, but a "work"; compare "labor" (even to weariness: so the Greek), :-. be at peace among yourselves—The "and" is not in the original. Let... read more

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS AND EXHORTATIONS 4:1-5:24The second major part of this epistle contains instructions and exhortations about Christian living in general, the Rapture, personal watchfulness, church life, and individual behavior.

1. Attitudes toward leaders 5:12-13The leaders in view were probably the elders in the Thessalonian church and possibly the deacons and others in positions of leadership (cf. Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 5:17). His readers were to appreciate these leaders (plural) for their labors. Their duties, as listed here, are representative, not exhaustive. He charged the believers also to esteem their leaders very highly in love. While some individuals naturally elicit more affection than others, the... read more

D. Church life 5:12-15Paul also reminded his readers of their present duties. In doing so, he balanced his previous emphasis on their present hope in view of future blessings. He moved from dealing with hope to the subject of love (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:8). Paul’s exhortation to the Romans is quite similar to what we begin to read here (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:13 b and Romans 12:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:15 and Romans 12:17 a; 1 Thessalonians 5:16 and Romans 12:12 a; 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and Romans... read more

The Need of Watchfulness. Final Injunctions1. Times and seasons] St. Paul always lays stress on the uncertainty as to the time of the Advent (2 Thessalonians 2:2 cp. 2 Peter 3:3-4). 3. When they shall say] i.e. when people are saying.4, 5. Thief] better, ’as thieves.’ Thieves work in darkness. You are all children of light. Live up to your birthright. 6.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Thessalonians 5:12

(12) We now come to minor details of instruction, no doubt suggested by observation of manifest defects in the Thessalonian Church. These details show us still further the mixture of restless ungoverned zeal with gloomy forebodings and discontents.To know them which labour.—A command to enter into the spirit of ecclesiastical discipline. The persons meant are not simply the hard-working laity, contrasted with the idlers of 1 Thessalonians 4:11 and 2 Thessalonians 3:11, but those who performed... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Thessalonians 5:13

(13) Very highly in love.—The original here is difficult; but it seems best, with most good commentators, ancient and modern, to construe “in love” with “esteem,” and to make “very highly” (a very enthusiastic word in the Greek) an expletive attached to “in love,” implying “hold in a most extraordinary degree of love.” The bond which binds the Christian community to their directors is not to be one of “recognition” and obedience only (1 Thessalonians 5:12), but of holy affection above all.For... read more

1 Thessalonians 5:4 Some injustice has been done to the Christian creed of immortality as an influence in determining men's conduct Paul preached the imminent advent of Christ and besought his disciples therefore to watch, and we ask ourselves what is the moral value to us of such an admonition. But surely if we are to have any reasons for being virtuous, this is as good as any other. It is just as respectable to believe that we ought to abstain from iniquity because Christ is at hand, and we... read more

Chapter 13RULERS AND RULED1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 (R.V.)AT the present moment, one great cause of division among Christian churches is the existence of different forms of Church government. Congregationalists, Presbyterians, and Episcopalians are separated from each other much more decidedly by difference of organisation than by difference of creed. By some of them, if not by all, a certain form of Church order is identified with the existence of the Church itself. Thus the English-speaking... read more
