1 Thessalonians 5:13
הוֹקִירוּ אוֹתָם בְּרֹב אַהֲבָה בַּעֲבוּר עֲבוֹדָתָם. הֱיוּ בְּשָׁלוֹם אִישׁ עִם רֵעֵהוּ.
1 Thessalonians 5:13
5:13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. (KJV)
Here we are being commanded to be at peace among ourselves (1 Thessalonians 5:13). The concept of peace and harmonious relationships among people is deeply ingrained in Jewish tradition, including the Torah. The Hebrew word for peace is “shalom” (שָׁלוֹם ) Shalom encompasses more than the absence of conflict; it signifies wholeness, well-being, and harmony. Other Torah examples are Leviticus 19:18 commands, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Conflict Resolution such as how the Torah provides guidelines for resolving disputes and maintaining peace. Exodus 23:4-5 encourages helping an enemy’s lost animal and returning it. The Torah provides blessings of peace, unity and brotherhood and a covenant of peace. All of these things support the NT command to be at peace. This is how Paul taught Torah. The Torah has not passed away!
