This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Prove all things (panta ̣dě dokimazete). Probably de (but) is genuine. Even the gift of prophecy has to be tested (1Co 12:10; 1Co 14:29) to avoid error. Paul shows fine balance here.
Hold fast that which is good (to kalon katechete). Keep on holding down the beautiful (noble, morally beautiful). Present imperative kaṫechō (perfective use of katȧ here).
