1 Thessalonians 5:14
יד אַחַי, אָנוּ מְבַקְשִׁים מִכֶּם׃ הוֹכִיחוּ אֶת הַהוֹלְכִים בָּטֵל; עוֹדְדוּ אֶת הַנְּכֵאִים; תִּמְכוּ בַּחַלָּשִׁים; הֱיוּ סַבְלָנִיִּים כְּלַפֵּי כָּל אָדָם.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
5:14 We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. (NASB)
There are parallels in the Torah to the concept of comforting the feeble-minded, as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:14. For example, in Deuteronomy 1:38, Moses is instructed to encourage Joshua, his successor, to lead the people into the Promised Land. This act of encouragement is a form of comfort and support. In Leviticus 19:18 states, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This commandment emphasizes the importance of caring for and supporting one another within the community. In Genesis 50:21, Joseph comforts his brothers after the death of their father, Joseph, saying, “So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” This act of reassurance and provision is a form of comfort. These examples show that the Torah encourages acts of comfort, support, and encouragement within the community, similar to the message in 1 Thessalonians 5:14. The Torah has not passed away!
