1 Thessalonians 5:17, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul is closing his first letter to the Thessalonians with a rapid series of short instructions for the whole church, and this two word command sits between rejoicing and giving thanks. The Greek word for pray here is proseuchomai, the ordinary word for prayer addressed to God, and the phrase means to keep at it rather than to do nothing else.
