SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:6–15: Paul warned those among the Thessalonian believers who were lazy and told them that they should work

It seems that there were some believers in Thessalonica who had stopped working. This was probably because they thought the Lord Jesus was going to come back soon or that the Lord Jesus had already come back (see 2 Thessalonians 2:2). Therefore they had decided that there was no point in continuing to work. Paul warned people not to behave in this way. He reminded them how he and his companions had worked for their food when they stayed at Thessalonica so that they would not burden the other believers there. They did this in order to be a good example for the Thessalonians to follow, even though as apostles they had the right to be supported. Paul had already mentioned those who would not work in 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 and 5:14. But it seems that that warning had not had any effect.

Paragraph 3:14–15

Paul told the rest of the believers to avoid anyone who refused to obey his instruction not to be lazy. In this way he hoped to cause these lazy believers to change their ways. But he warned the Thessalonians not to treat these people as enemies.

3:15a

Yet do not regard him as an enemy,

Yet: Although the Thessalonians were to obey the command in 3:14b–c, they were not to do so in a harsh way that would perhaps make the person leave the fellowship.

do not regard him as an enemy: Although the believers were not to associate with this person, they were not to consider him as if he were an enemy who was against them.

3:15b

but warn him as a brother.

but: In 3:15a, Paul told the Thessalonians how they should not behave toward a disobedient believer. In this part of the verse he gave a contrast and told them how they should behave.

warn him as a brother: The Greek verb noutheteō, which the BSB translates as warn, is the same verb that Paul used in 1 Thessalonians 5:14a. You should also use the same verb here as you did in 1 Thessalonians 5:14a. Paul was giving the same command here as he had already given in his first letter.

as a brother: By using this expression, Paul was emphasizing that this person was still a believer, still part of God’s family. He was certainly not an “enemy,” and so the Thessalonians should not treat him as one.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφόν

˓a˒_brother

Although the term brother is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [a fellow believer]
