1 Thessalonians 5:15 - The Pulpit Commentary

1 Thessalonians 5:15 - Exposition

See that none render evil for evil unto any. The prohibition of revenge is peculiarly Christian, neither corresponding to the spirit of heathenism, nor yet clearly revealed in Judaism. A precisely similar prohibition is given in Romans 12:17 , "Recompense to no man evil for evil." But ever follow ; pursue after. That which is good ; the good, the beneficial. Both among yourselves ; your fellow-Christians. And to all men. The human race in general; the one being brotherly kindness and the other charity ( 2 Peter 1:7 ).
