1 Thessalonians 5
1. He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;
16. and gives various instructions;
23. and so concludes the epistle.














Brothers
The term "brothers" (Greek: ἀδελφοί, adelphoi) is a term of endearment and unity, often used by Paul to address fellow believers in the early Christian communities. It signifies a familial bond among Christians, transcending biological ties and emphasizing spiritual kinship. In the historical context of the early church, this term would have been particularly meaningful, as believers often faced persecution and relied heavily on one another for support and encouragement. The use of "brothers" underscores the communal nature of the Christian faith, where believers are called to love, support, and uphold one another as members of the body of Christ.

pray
The Greek word for "pray" (προσεύχεσθε, proseuchesthe) is a call to ongoing, earnest communication with God. Prayer in the early church was not merely a ritualistic practice but a vital lifeline for spiritual strength and guidance. It reflects a dependence on God and an acknowledgment of His sovereignty and power. Historically, prayer was central to the life of the early Christian communities, as seen in Acts 2:42, where the believers devoted themselves to prayer. This call to prayer is a reminder of the importance of intercession and the belief that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people.

for us
The phrase "for us" indicates a specific request for intercessory prayer on behalf of Paul and his companions. This highlights the humility and vulnerability of Paul, a prominent apostle, who acknowledges his need for the prayers of fellow believers. It serves as a reminder that no one, regardless of their spiritual maturity or leadership role, is beyond the need for prayer. In the historical context, Paul and his companions faced numerous challenges, including persecution, travel hardships, and the burden of spreading the Gospel. By asking for prayer, Paul demonstrates the interconnectedness of the Christian community and the power of collective prayer in supporting and sustaining those in ministry.

(25) Pray for us.--Taken in conjunction with what follows, this probably is a petition for remembrance in the great public service.

Verse 25. - Brethren, pray for us; namely, that our apostolic work may be successful; that "the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified" (2 Thessalonians 3:1). The apostle, in almost all his Epistles, requests from his converts an interest in their prayers (Romans 15:30; 2 Corinthians 1:11; Ephesians 6:19; Colossians 4:3; 2 Thessalonians 3:1; comp. Hebrews 13:18). Ministers and people need each other's prayers, and prayer is a duty which they owe to each other.
