1 THESSALONIANS 5:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;”
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you — the community leaders labor (kopiaō) among them and are positioned 'over you in the Lord' (proistēmi). Respect (perissos, overflowing) is their due; their admonishment (noutheteo, to counsel) is not mere opinion but pastoral authority.
