Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24

IVClosing Exhortations: to honor the presidents, to live in peace, to keep themselves free from all bitterness against persecutors, to unite vivacity with sobriety of spirit; ending with the prayer, that God may keep them.1 Thessalonians 5:12-2412And [Now, or: But]26 we beseech yon, brethren, to know them which labor [those who toil, τοὺς κοπιῶντας] among you, and are over [preside over]27 you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13and to esteem them very highly [very exceedingly]28 14in love for... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

“Without Blame” at His Coming 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 The remainder of the chapter is filled with brief sentences of exhortation, like cablegrams from our Heavenly Captain to his soldiers, who, in the previous section, are described as wearing the breastplate of faith and love. As we endeavor to put them into practice, we become conscious of a new and divine energy entering and quickening our nature. It is the God of peace who is at work, co-operating with our poor endeavors and sanctifying... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28

Under the figure of a camp in which fully armed soldiers are waiting for the break of day, while those not expecting this are sleeping and drunken, the apostle shows that those waiting for the Son are children of light, and therefore called upon to live in watchfulness and sobriety. In view of the glorious certainty of hope the apostle urged them to continue in the 'labour of love" in serving "a living and true God." There follow brief injunctions (verses 1Th 5:17-20 ) which perfectly set... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:15-28

Sanctification 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:15-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The doctrine of sanctification has been abused, but that does not mean that we should steer clear of God's message concerning this great definite work in the believer's heart and life. There are so many who excuse all kinds of actions among Christians. They seem to think that a Christian, since he is saved by grace, can live any way he may desire, and get away with it. God never permits us to use "grace" as a... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:24

WHAT GOD DOES‘Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:24 The reason why most Christians are not so happy as they might be, is this: they are looking for their proofs and encouragements in their own hearts, and not in God. The ultimate appeal, the true logic of the soul, the only resting-place, is here: God is God, and God is true. ‘Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it.’ I. ‘The calling’—what is it?—Every ‘call’ of God, when rightly... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

‘And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he who calls you who also will do it.’ Paul’s final prayer and exhortation is an important one. It draws the attention away from the doctrine of the coming of Christ to its purpose, that His people may be sanctified fully and be presented before Him ‘without blame’. Holiness is the objective, the second coming a spur... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28

1 Thessalonians 5:23-Hosea : . Conclusion. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 . The closing benediction commending the Thessalonian Christians to God.— spirit and soul and body: if we press the phrase, human nature is threefold, consisting of: ( a) a body, the physical organism; ( b) soul, the principle of life, the moral and intellectual side of man; ( c) spirit, the organ of communion with God. But whether this tripartite theory represents Paul’ s permanent view is open to doubt, as elsewhere he... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Thessalonians 5:24

We had in the former verse the apostle’s prayer, here his faith; and he speaks it by way of consolation to them, that what he had prayed for God would effect. What need he then have prayed? Because God’s decrees and promises, though immutable and infallible, yet are to be accomplished in a way of prayer. Prayer is our duty, and God’s decrees and promises are no dispensation from our duty: besides, duties are more known to us than God’s decrees; and God decree the means as well as the end. But... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28

1 Thessalonians 5:23-28 I. There is much of instruction and comfort in this Apostolic prayer. The blessing prayed for is that the Thessalonian converts may be sanctified wholly, that their spirit and soul and body may be preserved. The Apostle adopts the trichotomy which in some form or other may be said to belong to almost all systems of philosophy "body, soul, spirit" It is the combination of these three which makes up our nature; it is the due relations between these three which constitute... read more
