rwp 1Thessalonians:5:21
rwp@1Thessalonians:5:21 @{Prove all things} (\panta [de] dokimazete\). Probably \de\ (but) is genuine. Even the gift of prophecy has to be tested (1Corinthians:12:10; strkjv@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 \kat-ech“\ (perfective use of \kata-\ here).
