But others more truly judge he continues his discourse to the whole church, and the several members of it.

Warn.—The same Greek word as “admonish” in 1 Thessalonians 5:12, and selected for that very reason.

παρακαλέω is built from the prefix παρά (near) and the root καλέω (to call). It covers a range of meanings including to summon, beseech, exhort, and comfort. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as Acts 28:20 and Matthew 26:53. Notably, it can also imply invoking the gods or comforting others.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

ἀδελφός is built from a copulative particle and δελφύς, meaning 'womb.' It primarily refers to a brother, either by birth or in a broader sense, such as a fellow Christian or a member of the same nation. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including familial and spiritual relationships, as seen in Matthew 1:2 and 1 Corinthians 1:1.

Of a member of the same nation (Ex 2:14, De 15:3). In NT in each of these senses (1. Mt 1:2, al.; 2. Mt 7:3; 3. Ro 9:3) and also,

Thilo, Cod. Apocr. N. T. i. 8362 sq.]), nor cousins, the children of Alpheus or Cleophas [i. 6.

The Greek word νουθετέω (noutheteo) is built from the roots for 'mind' and 'to put.' It means to admonish, warn, or counsel, often with a gentle reproof. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Acts 20:31 and Romans 15:14. The entries indicate a consistent understanding of its meaning across sources.
νουθετέω (noutheteō) — to admonish.

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 ἄτακτος (*ataktos*) is built from the negative prefix ἄ and a derivative of τάσσω (to arrange). It describes something that is disorderly, irregular, or undisciplined, often used in reference to soldiers out of formation. In the New Testament, it appears in 1 Thessalonians 5:14, where it conveys a sense of unruliness.
** ἄ-τακτος, -ον
(< τάσσω),
[in LXX: III Mac 1:19*;]
out of order, out of place (Lat. inordinatus), freq. of soldiers not keeping the ranks, or an army in disarray (cf. III Mac 1:19); hence, metaph., irregular, disorderly (v. previous word): I Th 5:14.†
ἄτακτος, -ov, (τάσσω), disorderly, out of the ranks, (often so of soldiers); irregular, inordinate (ἄτακτοι ἡδοναί immoderate pleasures, Plat. legge. 2, 660 b.; Plut. de lib. educ. ο. 7), deviating from the prescribed order or rule: 1 Th. v. 14, cf. 2 Th. iii. 6. (In Grk. writ. fr. [Hdt. and] Thue. down; often in Plat.)
ἄτακτος. See the discussion οἵ ἀτακτέω. For the adj. (and adv.) we may quote P Fay 337!6f (ii/A.p.) δεῖ τῶν [ἀν]ϑρώπων ἄρχειν [τῶν] πράξεων ἐκείί νου]ς δὲ εὐθὺς ἐφέπεσθαι, οὐκ ἀτάKTws μέντοι ἀλλ᾽ εἱμα[ρ])μέϊνως : the document is a fragment of “a philosophical work concerning the gods ” (Edd.). In Vettius Valens p. 33679 ἄτακτον φέσιν ἢ βελτίονα, the antithesis suggests a markedly bad meaning for & The same implication underlies the subst. in p. 1161 πολλὰ kal τῶν ἀτακτημάτων κρυβήσεται καὶ οὐκ ἔσται aloypa—which they would have been but for the kindly influence of Jupiter. The next sentence identifies the ἀτακτήματα as secret intrigues which will not be found out. In Sy// 519 (see under ataktéw), where four sets of ἔφηβοι and their σωφρονισταί get their meed of praise and garlands, εὐτ]άκτους αὑτοὺς παρέχουσιν replaces the verb in one place out of three.

The Greek word παραμυθέομαι (transliterated as *paramutheomai*) is built from the prefix παρά and a derivative of μυθέομαι. It covers a range of meanings including to encourage, console, and comfort, often used in contexts of exhortation or soothing. In the New Testament, it appears in passages like John 11:31 and 1 Thessalonians 2:12, where it emphasizes comforting and encouraging others.
** παρα-μυθέομαι, -οῦμαι,
[in LXX: II Mac 15:9 (Sm.8)*;]

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.

The Greek word ὀλιγόψυχος (i.e., *oligopsuchos*) means 'faint-hearted' or 'little-spirited.' It is derived from roots meaning 'little' and 'soul' or 'spirit.' This term appears in the New Testament, specifically in 1 Thessalonians 5:14. The entries consistently describe it as referring to someone who is weak in spirit or feeble-minded.

ἀντέχω is built from ἀντί (against) and ἔχω (to have). It covers meanings such as to hold against, withstand, and adhere to. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like holding firmly to someone or something, as seen in Matthew 6:24 and Titus 1:9. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

T. only in Mid. to keep one’s self directly opposite to any one, hold to him firmly, cleave to, paying heed to him: τινός, Mt. vi. 24; Lk. xvi. 13; τῶν ἀσθενῶν, to aid them, care for them, 1 Th. v. 14; τοῦ λόγου. to hold to, hold it fast, Tit.i. 9.

With the sense of that which brings aid, support, or deliverance, "help" (noun and vb.) represents a large variety of words in Hebrew and Greek (noun 7, verb 16). A principal Hebrew word is `azar, "to help," with the corresponding nouns `ezer, `ezrah; a chief Greek word is boetheo (Mt 15:25; Mr 9:22,24, etc.). True help is to be sought for in Yahweh, in whom, in the Old Testament, the believer is constantly exhorted to trust, with the renouncing of all other confidences (Ps 20:2; 33:20; 42:5; 46:1; 115:9,10,11; 121:2; Isa 41:10,13,14, etc.). In Ro 8:26 it is said, "the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity," the verb here…

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, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἀσθενής (*asthenēs*) means weak or without strength, derived from the negative prefix ἀ- and the root for strength. It covers a range of meanings, including physical weakness, sickness, and moral or spiritual frailty. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts discussing bodily infirmities (e.g., Matthew 25:39) and moral weaknesses (e.g., Romans 5:6).

μακροθυμέω means to be patient or long-suffering, derived from the components for 'long' and 'spirit.' It encompasses the ideas of perseverance and forbearance, particularly in the context of enduring misfortunes or offenses from others. The New Testament uses it in several passages, including 1 Corinthians 13:4 and James 5:7. Notably, there is some debate among lexicographers regarding its specific applications in different contexts.

It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.
