Read 1 Thessalonians 5.12-22. In 5.12-22: How the congregation should live. In verse 12: Those who ... have charge of you, "leaders" or patrons in the congregation who provided the means for the congregation to survive. In verse 14: Idlers; NRSV, perhaps influenced by 2 Thess 3.11, uses this specific noun rather the more general "disorderly ones." It is not a comment about laziness, but about those have not fully embraced the end-time orientation need for holy living. Comments or Questions..
