1 Thessalonians 4:4
_ _ know — by moral self-control.
_ _ how to possess his vessel — rather as Greek, “how to acquire (get for himself) his own vessel,” that is, that each should have his own wife so as to avoid fornication (1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Corinthians 7:2). The emphatical position of “his own” in the Greek, and the use of “vessel” for wife, in 1 Peter 3:7, and in common Jewish phraseology, and the correct translation “acquire,” all justify this rendering.
_ _ in sanctification — (Romans 6:19; 1 Corinthians 6:15, 1 Corinthians 6:18). Thus, “his own” stands in opposition to dishonoring his brother by lusting after his wife (1 Thessalonians 4:6).
_ _ honour — (Hebrews 13:4) contrasted with “dishonor their own bodies” (Romans 1:24). |
1 Thessalonians 4:4
That every one know — For this requires knowledge, as well as chastity. To possess his vessel — His wife. In sanctification and honour — So as neither to dishonour God or himself, nor to obstruct, but further, holiness; remembering, marriage is not designed to inflame, but to conquer, natural desires. |
