Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Thessalonians 5:14

_ _ brethren — This exhortation to “warm (Greek, ‘admonish,’ as in 1 Thessalonians 5:12) the unruly (those ‘disorderly’ persons, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 2 Thessalonians 3:11, who would not work, and yet expected to be maintained, literally, said of soldiers who will not remain in their ranks, compare 1 Thessalonians 4:11; also those insubordinate as to Church discipline, in relation to those ‘over’ the Church, 1 Thessalonians 5:12), comfort the feeble-minded (the faint-hearted, who are ready to sink ‘without hope’ in afflictions, 1 Thessalonians 4:13, and temptations),” applies to all clergy and laity alike, though primarily the duty of the clergy (who are meant in 1 Thessalonians 5:12).”

_ _ support — literally, “lay fast hold on so as to support.”

_ _ the weak — spiritually. Paul practiced what he preached (1 Corinthians 9:22).

_ _ be patient toward all men — There is no believer who needs not the exercise of patience “toward” him; there is none to whom a believer ought not to show it; many show it more to strangers than to their own families, more to the great than to the humble; but we ought to show it “toward all men” [Bengel]. Compare “the long-suffering of our Lord” (2 Corinthians 10:1; 2 Peter 3:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Thessalonians 5:11-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Thessalonians 5:14

Warn the disorderly — Them that stand, as it were, out of their rank in the spiritual warfare. Some such were even in that church. The feeble — minded — Literally, them of little soul; such as have no spiritual courage.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Thessalonians 5:14

(9) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are (e) unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men].

(9) We must have consideration of every man, and the remedy must be applied according to the disease.

(e) That keep not their rank or standing.
