Context — Paul's Integrity in Ministrygenerated
1 Thessalonians 2:3 reveals Paul’s commitment to authenticity in his preaching. He emphasizes that his appeal to the Thessalonians does not stem from deceit or impure motives. This assertion is part of a broader defense of his ministry, where he reassures them of his integrity and the sincerity of his message, which aligns with his previous experiences in Philippi, as noted in 1 Thessalonians 2:2.

The Key Word — παράκλησις, paraklēsisgenerated
The term παράκλησις (paraklēsis) is a feminine noun meaning 'exhortation' or 'encouragement'. It indicates a calling to action or support, derived from the verb παρακαλέω, which means to call to one’s side or to comfort.
In this context, it reflects Paul’s role in urging the Thessalonians to live in accordance with the gospel. His use of the word underscores the supportive nature of his message, aiming to uplift and guide rather than manipulate.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is translated in the Berean Standard Bible as 'For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.' The KJV uses 'exhortation' instead of 'appeal', which emphasizes a more direct call to action.
The translations vary particularly in how they render παράκλησις: the BSB opts for 'appeal', while the KJV and others prefer 'exhortation'. Additionally, the term πλάνης is rendered as 'error' in the ASV and 'deceit' in the BBE, showing a divergence in interpretation.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the sentence is implied in the phrase 'does not arise', which governs the structure. The subject is 'our appeal', and the sentence includes multiple prepositional phrases that clarify the nature of the appeal.
The structure is built around negation, emphasizing what the appeal is not: it is not from deceit, impurity, or trickery. This negative construction serves to reinforce the integrity of Paul’s message.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word ἀκαθαρσία (akatharsia) appears in the Septuagint, where it translates Hebrew terms related to moral and ceremonial impurity, such as טֻמְאָה (tum'ah).
This connection highlights the seriousness of moral integrity in both the Old and New Testaments, as Paul asserts the purity of his motives in delivering the gospel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Thessalonians 2:3 states that Paul’s message does not come from deceit or bad intentions. He emphasizes that his appeal is genuine and meant to encourage the Thessalonians in their faith.

But the points raised in contrast, in 1 Thessalonians 2:4-12, seem to preclude this meaning, which would be more likely to introduce some…

When the apostles exhorted or admonished men, it was that they should turn from evil to good, from misery to happiness, from Satan to God, and from hell to heaven. Their exhortations having this object, every word was consolatory; and as the truth which they delivered was unquestionable, therefore their ministry was a subject of the highest encouragement and joy.

In 1 Thessalonians 2:5 Paul returns to his conduct at Thessalonica; 1 Thessalonians 2:3-4 speak of his general policy.“Exhortation” hardly conveys his fall meaning,—our appeal is perhaps better; it is the practical “appeal,” or “address,” which “the gospel of God,” as the missionaries of Christ preach it everywhere…

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore, neque de immunditia, neque in dolo,

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

for (ki (conjunction), le, from 'el (preposition), and various other words. In the New Testament also the words are various, chiefly gar, kai gar, hoti (conjunctions); anti apo eis dia (accusative), epi (dative and accusative), peri (genitive), pros (genitive and accusative), huper (genitive) (prepositions)): the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version give in many cases more literal or more accurate renderings than those in the King James Version.
In the New Testament the most important preps. from a doctrinal point of view are anti, "face to face," "over against," "instead," "on behalf of," peri, "around," "about," "concerning," huper, "over," "on behalf of." The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it.

The Greek word παράκλησις (paraklesis) is derived from παρακαλέω and encompasses meanings such as a calling for aid, exhortation, encouragement, and comfort. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, notably in passages like 2 Corinthians 1:4-7 and Romans 15:5. Some lexicons emphasize its use in both consolation and exhortation, reflecting its broad application in both personal and communal settings.

ek-sor-ta'-shun (paraklesis):
The Greek word translated "exhortation" (paraklesis) signifies, originally, "a calling near or for" (as an advocate or helper who should appeal on one's behalf), and carries the twofold sense of "exhortation" and "consolation" (which see). In the Septuagint of the Old Testament it is used in the sense of "consolation"; but in /APC 2Macc 7:24, it is translated "exhort," the Revised Version (British and American) "appeal." The verb parakaleo is also translated "exhortation" (1 Macc 13:3 the King James Version) and "exhort" ( /APC 2Macc 9:26). In the New Testament paraklesis is translated "exhortation" (Ac 13:15; Ro 12:8, the Revised Version (British and American) "exhorting"; 1Co 14:3, the English…

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The Greek word πλάνη (*planē*) means a wandering or straying, often used metaphorically to denote error, particularly in moral or religious contexts. It appears in the New Testament in verses such as Matthew 27:64 and Romans 1:27, where it conveys notions of deceit and wrong opinion. The lexicons agree on its general meaning, but some entries emphasize its use in relation to deceit more than others.
πλάνη, -ης, ἡ,
[in LXX: Pr 14:8 (מִרְמָה), Wi 1:12, al;]
a wandering. Metaph., a going astray, an error (in NT always with respect to morals or religion): Mt 27:64, Ro 1:27, Eph 4:14, I Th 2:3, II Th 2:11, Ja 5:20, II Pe 2:18 3:17, I Jo 4:6, Ju 11.†
πλάνη, -ns, 7, α wandering, a straying about, whereby one, led astray from the right way, roams hither and thither (Aeschyl., [Hdt.], Eur., Plat., Dem.,al.). In the N. T. metaph. mental straying, i.e. error, wrong opinion relative to morals or religion: Eph. iv. 14; 1 Th. ii. 3; 2 Th. ii. 11; 2 Pet. ii. 18; iii. 17; 1 Jn. iv. 6; Jude 11 (on which [cf. W. 189 (177) and] see ἐκχέω, b. fin.) ; er ror which shows itself in action, a wrong mode of acting: Ro. i. 27; πλάνη ὁδοῦ τινος, [R. V. error of one’s way i. 6.7 the wrong manner of life which one follows, Jas. v. 20 (πλάνη ζωῆς, Sap. i. 12); as sometimes the Lat. error, iq. that which leads into error, deceit, fraud: Mt. XXVii. 64.* [πλάνης, -nTos, 6, see πλανήτης. |
πλάνη has apparently the act. sense of ‘‘ deceit’? in BGU IV. 12088 (B.c. 27-6) δι᾿ οὗ [μοι] ἱστορεῖς τὴν [Καλατύ]τεως πλ[άν7γην, ‘‘by means of which (sc. a writing-tablet) you are acquainting me with the deceit of Kalatytis.”” Cf. Aazde/ 351° πάσα[ι]σ [1] mwAavy[s τ]έχν[αι]ς, where the editor understands the word as denoting the craft and stratagem which hunters use against wild beasts. See further s.v. πλανάω. In the NT πλάνη is generally, if not always, used in the pass. sense of ‘‘error”’: cf. Armitage Robinson ad Eph 4}4.

The Greek word οὐδέ (oude) is a negative particle that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and not' or 'nor,' and as an adverb meaning 'not even.' It combines elements of negation and exclusion, often appearing in phrases like 'neither... nor.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:15 and Acts 4:32.
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] It signifies 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Lat. que; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other [(?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about ‘mutual exclusion’ (cf. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived by οὔτε is…

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause.

The Greek word ἀκαθαρσία (akatharsia) means uncleanness or impurity, derived from ἀκάθαρτος (akathartos). It encompasses both physical and moral aspects, appearing in contexts related to moral depravity and ceremonial impurity. The New Testament uses it in various passages, notably in relation to lustful living and impure motives.

Hippoer. down], uncleanness ; a. physical: Mt. xxiii. 27. b. in a moral sense, the impurity of lustful, luxurious, profligate living: Ro. i. 24; vi. 19; 2 Co. xii. 21; Gal. v. 19; Eph. iv. 19; v. 3; Col. iii. 5; 1 Th. iv. 7; used of impure motives in 1 Th. ii. 3. (Dem. p. 553, 12.) Cf. Tittmann i. p. 150 sq.
ἀκαθαρσία. In a literal sense the noun occurs in a formula used in agreements for renting houses, which the tenant undertakes to leave in good condition. Thus P Oxy VIII. 112828 (a.p. 173) παραδότω τοὺς τόπους καθαροὺς ἀπὸ κοπρίων καὶ πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας : 20.

Vettius Valens, p. 219, has it in conjunction with κιναιδία : Kroll takes it as ‘‘ ozs impuadicitia (?).

The Greek word οὐδέ (oude) is a negative particle that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and not' or 'nor,' and as an adverb meaning 'not even.' It combines elements of negation and exclusion, often appearing in phrases like 'neither... nor.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:15 and Acts 4:32.
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] It signifies 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Lat. que; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other [(?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about ‘mutual exclusion’ (cf. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived by οὔτε is…

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

δόλος refers to deceit, guile, or craftiness, often used in contexts involving trickery or entrapment. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Matthew 26:4 and Mark 7:22. The word is derived from a root meaning to decoy, and it encompasses a range of meanings related to cunning and fraud. Notably, Abbott-Smith mentions its use in the Septuagint for the Hebrew term for deceit.
THE only passage in the N. T. in which θεράπων occurs is Heb. iii. 5: ‘‘ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant” (ὡς θεράπων). The allusion here to Num. xii. 7 is manifest, where the Septuagint has given θεράπων as its rendering of 12; it has done the same elsewhere (Exod. iv. 10; Deut. iii. 24; Josh. i. 2), yet has not made this its constant rule, frequently rendering it not by θεράπων, but by δοῦλος, out of which latter rendering, no doubt, we have at Rev. xv. 8, the phrase, Μωῦσῆς ὃ δοῦλος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
