recognize (v.12) = know, be aware, understand \u2014 with the sense of appreciating and valuing<\/h3>\n

those who labor (v.12) = “those who are laboring”<\/h3>\n

are over (v.12) = stand before, lead, manage, rule, care for, attend to (see 1 Timothy 3:4-5<\/a><\/span>, where the same Greek word is translated “rule”)<\/h3>\n

in the Lord (v.12) \u2014 indicates the authority and scope of these rulers.<\/h3>\n

admonish (v.12) = noutheteo<\/em>, lit. “to put into the mind,” “training by word”; hence it is used, (a) of instruction, (b) of warning. It is thus distinguished from paideuo<\/em> = to correct by discipline, “training by act.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

The difference between “admonish” and “teach” seems to be that whereas the former has mainly in view the things that are wrong and call for warning, the latter has to do chiefly with the impartation of positive truth. \u2014 Vine, page 84<\/span><\/h3>\n

esteem (v.13) = to think, consider<\/h3>\n

very highly (v.13) = exceedingly, superabundantly.<\/h3>\n

love (v.13) = agape<\/em><\/h3>\n
