Paul threatens severity, and the power of his apostleship, against obstinate sinners.5. And, advising them to a trial of their faith, 7. and to a reformation of their sins before his coming, 11. he concludes his epistle with a general exhortation and a prayer. Finally, brothers The word "Finally" indicates the conclusion of Paul's letter, summarizing his exhortations. "Brothers" (Greek: ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) is a term of endearment and unity, emphasizing the familial bond among believers. In the early church, this term underscored the radical notion of equality and shared identity in Christ, transcending social and ethnic divisions. rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony encourage one another be of one mind live in peace And the God of love and peace will be with you Be perfect.--Better, as before, restore yourselves to completeness; amend yourselves. In the words "be of good comfort" (better, perhaps, be comforted, with the implied thought that the comfort comes through accepting his word of counsel--see Note on Acts 4:36) we trace an echo of what he had said in the opening of the Epistle, as to the "comfort" which had been given to him (2Corinthians 1:4; 2Corinthians 1:7). Paraclesis in its two-fold aspect is, in fact, the key-note of the whole Epistle. Taking the verb and the noun together, the word occurs twenty-eight times in it. Be of one mind.--The phrase was one specially characteristic of St. Paul's teaching (Romans 15:6; Philippians 2:2; Philippians 3:16; Philippians 4:2). His thoughts are apparently travelling back to the schisms over which he had grieved in 1 Corinthians 1-3, and to which he had referred in 2Corinthians 12:20. What he seeks is the restoration of unity of purpose, and with that of inward and outward peace. If these conditions were fulfilled, the "God of love and peace would assuredly be with them," for peace rests ever upon the son of peace (Luke 10:6). . . . Verse 11. - Finally, brethren, farewell. His concluding words are marked by great gentleness, as though to heal the effects of the sharp rebuke and irony to which he has been compelled to have recourse. The word may also moan "rejoice" (Philippians 3:1; Philippians 4:4). Be perfect (see note on "perfection" in ver. 9). Be of one mind; literally, think the same thing (Philippians 2:2; 1 Peter 3:8; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Romans 12:16, 18). Be at peace (Ephesians 4:3).Parallel Commentaries ...
