This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But be thou sober (su de nēphe). Present active imperative of nēphō, for which see note on 1Th 5:6, 1Th 5:8. “Be sober in thy head.”
Suffer hardship (kakopathēson). See note on 2Ti 2:9.
Do the work of an evangelist (ergon poiēson euaggelistou). See note on 1Co 1:17; Eph 4:11 for euaggelistēs, gospelizer.
Fulfil (plērophorēson). First aorist active imperative of plērophoreō, for which see note on Col 4:12. In Col 4:17 Paul uses plēroō to Archippus about his ministry as he here employs plērophoreō. Both verbs mean to fill full.
