Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS - Chapter 4 - Verse 10

Verse 10. And indeed ye do it. See Barnes "1 Th 1:7".

But we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more. See Barnes "1 Th 3:12".

Here, as elsewhere, the apostle makes the fact that they deserved commendation for what they had done, a stimulant to arouse them to still higher attainments. Bloomfield.
