Berean Standard Bible

“Pray without ceasing.”

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Save as image

Study note

This is the second of three brief commands in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Jewish believers were familiar with set times of prayer during the day, and early Christians continued the practice while also learning a more continual awareness of God.
