Know And we beseech you brethren to know them which labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you 1 Thessalonians 5:12 Know or understand those who teach the Word of God. It means we should recognize them. When Paul wrote this he was speaking to the local situation in Thessalonians. He had been with them less than a month. He had won them to Christ and had taught them. A church had been started we could say from scratch. There wasn’t a believer there before Paul had arrived and presented the gospel to them. Acts 17:2 and 3 And Paul as his manner was went in unto them and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures Opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from the dead and that this Jesus whom I preach unto you is Christ. So all the Thessalonians believers had come to know Christ at about the same time. Now among them certain ones would have been given the gift of teaching. Some would have the gift of preaching and some of helping. Every believer receives a gift when he is saved and that gift is to be exercised in the body of believers to build up the body of believers. But I have a notion that among the believers in Thessalonians there could have been this attitude: So-and-so and I were saved at the same time. I knew him before he was a believer. Where did he get the idea that he could teach me? So Paul is telling them that certain men and women had been given certain gifts of leadership and they should respect them. They should look to them for admonition. We still have the problem today that very few people in the church pay any attention to the teachers God has given them. People say they believe the Bible is the Word of God and they believe every word of it. Then why don’t they obey it? Why don’t they listen when it is being taught? One man said to me very candidly, “I believe the Bible from cover to cover, and I am ignorant, of what is between the covers.” Now that is an untenable position to hold. I think if people knew what was between the covers, they would believe it. But it is a hypocritical position to say you believe it and then be ignorant of what it says. Anyone who says he believes the Bible is the Word of God is obligated to know what it says. Therefore, those who are preaching and teaching the Word of God should have the attention of the believers. The Greek word εἴδω Is Transliteration eidō And Pronounced i'-do In the KJV this word it found a Total of 666 times We do need to be carful with the word know there are some that worship knowledge. Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. There was a library there in Pergamum that was later moved to Alexandria and later was burned which contained all the knowledge up to that point. God destroyed this library that contained the knowledge of the world and resulted in the world going into the dark ages as a result of their worship of knowledge. Paul encountered these knowledge worshipers in Athens.  Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) The KJV translates this Greek word in the following manner: know (281 times), cannot tell  (8 times) in other words if you do not pay attention to me then you will not be able to figure out what I am saying, know how (7 times) that we suffer to deliver the message to you how to answer others and how to act in the house of God, wist (6 times) you became aware, miscellaneous (19 times), see (314 times), behold (17 times), look (5 times), perceive (5 times), variations of 'see' (3 times), variations of 'know' (1 time).
