Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Esteem them very highly in love - Christian ministers, who preach the whole truth, and labor in the word and doctrine, are entitled to more than respect; the apostle commands them to be esteemed ̔, abundantly, and superabundantly; and this is to be done in love; and as men delight to serve those whom they love, it necessarily follows that they should provide for them, and see that they want neither the necessaries nor conveniences of life; I do not say…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13And to esteem them very highly in love - To cherish for them an affectionate regard. The office of a minister of religion demands respect. They who are faithful in that office have a claim on the kind regards of their fellow-men.

The people should honour and love their ministers, because their business is the welfare of men's souls. And the people should be at peace among themselves, doing all they can to guard against any differences…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13Leaders should receive honor and love for what they do, not just their rank. Live in peace: Teaching about community peace and harmony was common in ancient moral lessons. Harmony between Christians and leaders was crucial because of the persecution the church experienced (2:14).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. very highly--Greek, "exceeding abundantly." for their work's sake--The high nature of their work alone, the furtherance of your salvation and of the kingdom of Christ, should be a sufficient motive to claim your reverential love. At the same time, the word "work," teaches ministers that, while claiming the reverence due to their office, it is not a sinecure, but a "work"; compare "labor" (even to weariness: so the Greek), 1Th 5:12. be at peace among…Read the comment
