All Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:16 Go To 1 Thessalonians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Always rejoice. It is usual for St. Paul to recommend joy to the faithful. Cheerfulness is indeed the characteristic of true virtue, which by no means consists in, nor encourages, sourness or moroseness, as some mistaken people imagine. God loves a cheerful giver. Sorrow, which is of this world, killeth. (Haydock)
