What the Fathers say

1 Thessalonians 4:10

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

You are taught by God not simply in word, but: I know this from your deeds. He mentioned Macedonia because Thessalonica is the chief city of Macedonia.

Commentary on 1 Thessalonians ↗

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

When Paul says: but we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more, he is urging them to make progress in charity. He seemingly insists that since you have charity towards all men, we urge you to make progress in it. And though others may ridicule you, nevertheless devote yourself to charity: "In the house of the righteous there is much treasure" (Prov. 15:6).
