1Th 2:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11 : Paul and his fellow workers were faithful in their ministry. He says they exhorted, comforted, and charged each person as a father does his children (1 Thessalonians 2:11 ). They did not just teach in public, but also helped people privately, giving advice and encouragement. Paul cared for them with a father’s love, not just using authority, but showing real concern. Like he wrote elsewhere, my beloved sons, I warn you (1 Corinthians 4:14 ).

v. 11: Paul and his fellow workers were faithful in their ministry. He says they exhorted, comforted, and charged each person as a father does his children (1 Thessalonians 2:11 ^a). They did not just teach in public, but also helped people privately, giving advice and encouragement. Paul cared for them with a father’s love, not just using authority, but showing real concern. Like he wrote elsewhere, my beloved sons, I warn you (1 Corinthians 4:14 ^b).
