1 Thessalonians 5:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible

Paul finishes his letter

12 Our friends, we ask you to respect your leaders who work hard among you. They lead you and they teach you what is right on the Lord's behalf. 13 Show them how valuable they are to you. And love them very much because of the work that they do. Live at peace among yourselves.

14 Friends, you must warn lazy people that they should work.[a] If people are afraid, help them to be brave. If people are weak, take care of them. Be patient with everyone.

Footnotes

  1. 5:14 All the Christians at Thessalonica were waiting for Jesus to return. They thought that he would come soon. Some of them may have thought that they did not need to continue to work. But nobody knows when the Lord will return. So Paul is teaching them about that. They must continue to work. They must live in a way that makes God happy.
