1 Thessalonians 4:6
_ _ go beyond — transgress the bounds of rectitude in respect to his “brother.”
_ _ defraud — “overreach” [Alford]; “take advantage of” [Edmunds].
_ _ in any matter — rather as Greek, “in the matter”; a decorous expression for the matter now in question; the conjugal honor of his neighbor as a husband, 1 Thessalonians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:7 also confirms this view; the word “brother” enhances the enormity of the crime. It is your brother whom you wrong (compare Proverbs 6:27-33).
_ _ the Lord — the coming Judge (2 Thessalonians 1:7, 2 Thessalonians 1:8).
_ _ avenger — the Righter.
_ _ of all such — Greek, “concerning all these things;” in all such cases of wrongs against a neighbor’s conjugal honor.
_ _ testified — Greek, “constantly testified [Alford]. |
