1 Thessalonians 5:12
_ _ 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 Timothy 5:17). The Thessalonian Church having been newly planted, the ministers were necessarily novices (1 Timothy 3:6), which may have been in part the cause of the people’s treating them with less respect. Paul’s practice seems to have been to ordain elders in every Church soon after its establishment (Acts 14:23).
_ _ them which labour ... are over ... admonish you — not three classes of ministers, but one, as there is but one article common to the three in the Greek. “Labor” expresses their laborious life; “are over you,” their pre-eminence as presidents or superintendents (“bishops,” that is, overseers, Philippians 1:1, “them that have rule over you,” literally, leaders, Hebrews 13:17; “pastors,” literally, shepherds, Ephesians 4:11); “admonish you,” one of their leading functions; the Greek is “put in mind,” implying not arbitrary authority, but gentle, though faithful, admonition (2 Timothy 2:14, 2 Timothy 2:24, 2 Timothy 2:25; 1 Peter 5:3).
_ _ in the Lord — Their presidency over you is in divine things; not in worldly affairs, but in things appertaining to the Lord. |
1 Thessalonians 5:12
Know them that, Labour among you: Are over you in the Lord: Admonish you. Know — See, mark, take knowledge of them and their work. Sometimes the same person may both labour, that is, preach; be over, or govern; and admonish the flock by particular application to each: sometimes two or more different persons, according as God variously dispenses his gifts. But O, what a misery is it when a man undertakes this whole work without either gifts or graces for any part of it! Why, then, will he undertake it? for pay? What! will he sell both his own soul and all the souls of the flock? What words can describe such a wretch as this? And yet even this may be "an honourable man!" |
1 Thessalonians 5:12
(7) And we beseech you, brethren, to (b) know them which labour among you, and are over you in the (c) Lord, and admonish you;
(7) We must have consideration of those who are appointed to the ministry of the word, and the government of the church of God, and who do their duty.
(b) That you acknowledge and take them for such as they are, that is to say, men worthy to be greatly esteemed of among you.
(c) In those things which pertain to God's service: so is the ecclesiastical function distinguished from civil authority, and true shepherds from wolves. |
