PAUL tells us in 1 Thessalonians 2:11, what he did among the brethren in Thessalonica. "Ye know", he says, appealing to their memory, "how we exhorted and charged everyone of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory." What Paul did at Thessalonica, he did among the brethren everywhere else, of course; and, if he were with us, he would do the same thing here. He would charge us to "walk worthy of God", and he would do it constantly. He would not be content to lay down our duty clearly at the start, and then go on, taking it for granted; he would "harp" on the subject constantly. At least, this is what he did at Ephesus. His own testimony is this; "Ye (Ephesians) know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons ... Therefore, watch and remember that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears" -- (Acts 20:18-31).
