Doing good to all (not retaliating)

The Church should seek to do good in her relationships with all. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:15: “See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.” (NET Bible) What Paul is saying is that no one should take revenge. The […]

Haciendo el bien a todos (no el mal a ninguno)

La Iglesia debe procurar hacer el bien en sus relaciones con todos. Pablo escribe en 1 Tesalonicenses 5:15:“Mirad que ninguno pague a otro mal por mal; antes seguid siempre lo bueno unos para con otros, y para con todos.” Lo que Pablo está diciendo es que nadie debe de vengarse. La reacción natural de las […]

The role of members in the church

In 1 Thessalonians 5:13-15, Paul urges the church ( in the same way he did about dealing with its leaders (see post here) that they are to correct and help members who need it. Here is the passage in the Message version of the Bible: Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. […]

El rol de los miembros de la iglesia

Pablo insta y ruega a la iglesia de la misma manera que lo hizo en cuanto al trato hacia sus líderes que deben corregir y ayudar a los miembros que lo necesitan. Hay tres tipos de creyentes que ellos deben corregir y ayudar. “También os rogamos, hermanos” v. 14 Primero enseña que deben amonestar a […]

Be at peace among yourselves. ” (v. 13) This means that the church gives them the value they deserve because of their […]

Honoring and respecting leaders of the church

The church must honor and respect its leaders who serve her. This is what Paul teaches in 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13. These leaders vary from church to church, some receive remuneration some do not. Some serve as volunteers and others serve as church employees. Regardless, Paul’s teaching applies. The church must do so by showing an […]

All Believers are Priests

The Bible teaches the doctrine we call “the priesthood of all believers.” What this teaches is that every believer is a “priest” before God (1 Peter 2:5, 2:9; Revelation 1:5-6; 5:9-10 and 20:6). Every believer has the same access to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. As priests we are called to be holy, to […]

El Sacerdocio de todos los Creyentes

La biblia enseña la doctrina que llamamos “el sacerdocio de todos los creyentes”. Lo que esto enseña es que cada creyente es un “sacerdote” delante de Dios (1 Pedro 2:5, 2:9; Apocalipsis 1:5-6; 5:9-10 y 20:6). Cada creyente tiene el mismo acceso a Dios a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Como sacerdotes somos llamados a […]

Building each other up

The teaching the Thessalonians received about the coming of Christ and of living alert until He comes has a useful purpose. It’s not about setting dates, scaring each other, or creating controversy. We often do not consider what Paul says here. What should we do? Paul says, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other […]
