1 Thessaloniciens 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 Thessaloniciens 4:2 In-Context

1 Au reste, frères, nous vous prions donc et nous vous conjurons par le Seigneur Jésus, que comme vous avez appris de nous de quelle manière il faut vous conduire pour plaire à Dieu, vous le fassiez toujours plus.

2 Car vous savez quels commandements nous vous avons donnés au nom du Seigneur Jésus;

3 C'est ici en effet, la volonté de Dieu, que vous soyez sanctifiés, que vous vous absteniez de la fornication,

4 Que chacun de vous sache posséder son corps dans la sainteté et dans l'honnêteté,

5 Sans vous livrer à des passions déréglées, comme les Gentils, qui ne connaissent point Dieu.
