comfort yourselves--Greek, "one another." Here he reverts to the same consolatory strain as in Th1 4:18.
edify one another--rather as Greek, "edify (ye) the one the other"; "edify," literally, "build up," namely, in faith, hope, and love, by discoursing together on such edifying topics as the Lord's coming, and the glory of the saints (Mal 3:16). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Wherefore comfort yourselves - notes, Th1 4:18.
And edify one another - Strive to build up each other, or to establish each other in the faith by these truths; notes, Rom 14:19.
Even as also ye do - Continue to do it. Let nothing intervene to disturb the harmony and consolation which you have been accustomed to derive from these high and holy doctrines. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Comfort (παρακαλεῖτε)
Rev. renders exhort; but comfort suits better the general drift of the passage, and corresponds with Th1 4:18. There is some force in Bornemann's suggestion that the two meanings may be combined. Exhort each other to be of good heart.
Edify (οἰκοδομεῖτε)
Lit. build up. See on Act 20:32. The metaphorical sense habitually in Paul. See Co1 8:1, Co1 8:10; Co1 10:23; Co1 14:4; Eph 2:20. In O.T. mostly in the literal sense. See however lxx, Rut 4:11; Psalm 27:5; 88:2; Jer 31:4. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Comfort - one another - Rest assured that, in all times and circumstances, it shall be well with the righteous; let every man lay this to heart; and with this consideration comfort and edify each other in all trials and difficulties. |

20 And are built [2026] upon [1909] the foundation [2310] of the apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] himself [846] being [5607] the chief corner [204] stone;
