This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I adjure you by the Lord (enorkizō humas ton Kurion). Late compound for old horkizō (Mar 5:7), to put one on oath, with two accusatives (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 483f.). Occurs in inscriptions.
That this epistle be read unto all the brethren (anagnōsthēnai tēn epistolēn pasin tois adelphois). First aorist passive infinitive of anaginōskō with accusative of general reference in an indirect command. Clearly Paul wrote for the church as a whole and wished the epistles read aloud at a public meeting. In this first epistle we see the importance that he attaches to his epistles.
