For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
You already know the instructions we passed along to you, they came straight from Jesus himself.
You've got the playbook, and it came from the top.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his first letter to the Thessalonians, a young church he established in the city of Thessalonica during his second missionary journey, to encourage them amid persecution and to clarify matters of faith and conduct. Paul is reminding them of the specific instructions he delivered, which were rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the divine authority behind these commandments. This context highlights the early church's need for guidance on living out their faith in a hostile Roman world.
