He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;16. and gives various instructions; 23. and so concludes the epistle. (13) Very highly in love.--The original here is difficult; but it seems best, with most good commentators, ancient and modern, to construe "in love" with "esteem," and to make "very highly" (a very enthusiastic word in the Greek) an expletive attached to "in love," implying "hold in a most extraordinary degree of love." The bond which binds the Christian community to their directors is not to be one of "recognition" and obedience only (1Thessalonians 5:12), but of holy affection above all. For their work's sake.--Our love is to be paid them not for any social or intellectual qualities they may have in themselves; it is the work which they have to do that should attract our sympathy. The original seems to mean that we are to love them, not only because they do such work, but also 'for the sake of their work," i.e., to help it forward. Be at peace among yourselves.--Discipline to be observed towards equals, as well as superiors. Verse 13. - And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake; that is, both on account of their labors, and especially on account of the dignity of their office, for their work is the work of the Lord. Both love for their persons and respect for their authority are here enjoined. And; to be omitted, as not in the original. Be at peace among yourselves.
