But as for you, brothers This phrase serves as a direct address to the believers in Thessalonica, emphasizing a personal and familial connection. The term "brothers" (Greek: ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) is often used in the New Testament to denote not just male siblings but the entire community of believers, highlighting the unity and shared faith among Christians. This familial language underscores the importance of mutual support and encouragement within the body of Christ, reflecting the early church's communal nature. do not grow weary in well-doing Be not weary in well doing.--This is an exhortation to "the patience of Christ," for which the Apostle had prayed. The phrase takes for granted that they had been hitherto engaged in "well doing"--i.e., in acting honourably, "walking honestly towards them that are without" (1Thessalonians 4:12); and St. Paul is anxious to preserve them from "fainting" (as the word is translated in Galatians 6:9), and so slipping into the like idleness and bringing scandal upon the Church.

Be not weary in well doing; or, as it is in the margin, faint not in well doing; "lose not heart in well doing" (Ellicott). The phrase has been differently interpreted. Thus Chrysostom explains it that indolent persons, however justly they may be condemned, must not be suffered to perish from want - a meaning opposed to the context. Calvin renders it that, although there are many that are undeserving and abuse our liberality, we must not on this account leave off helping those who need our aid: let not the sloth of those disorderly persons hinder or damp your charity - a most needful admonition, but it does not exhaust all that is meant by the precept. Others restrict it to diligence in our earthly duties: though others be idle, working not at all, let not their example lead you astray; be not ye weary in doing what is right and proper (Lunemann). But the phrase is to be understood in its general sense, denoting holy and upright conduct (see Galatians 6:9, where the same exhortation is given).Parallel Commentaries ...
