2 Perciocchè voi sapete quali comandamenti vi abbiamo dati per lo Signore Gesù.

1 Tessalonicesi 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Thessalonians 4:2

For ye know what commandments we gave you
When among them; such as those of faith and love, the ordinances of the Gospel, baptism, and the Lord's supper, and all such as relate to the worship and service of God, to the discipline of Christ's house, to their behaviour one towards another, and their conduct in the world: and which were delivered to them, not as from themselves, and by their own authority, but

by the Lord Jesus;
in his name, and by his authority, and as ordered by him; for their commission ran to teach men all things, whatsoever Christ commanded: now since they knew what these commandments were, and whose they were, and the obligation they lay under to regard them, the apostle makes use of it as a reason or argument to engage them to obedience to them; for he that knows his Lord's will, and does it not, shall be beaten with many stripes, ( Luke 12:47 ) .

1 Tessalonicesi 4:2 In-Context

1 NEL rimanente adunque, fratelli, noi vi preghiamo, ed esortiamo nel Signore Gesù, che, come avete da noi ricevuto come vi convien camminare, e piacere a Dio, in ciò vie più abbondiate.
2 Perciocchè voi sapete quali comandamenti vi abbiamo dati per lo Signore Gesù.
3 Poichè questa è la volontà di Dio, cioè: la vostra santificazione; acciocchè vi asteniate dalla fornicazione;
4 e che ciascun di voi sappia possedere il suo vaso in santificazione, ed onore;
5 non in passione di concupiscenza, come i Gentili, i quali non conoscono Iddio.
