The Fathers on this verse

St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians, 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

Ver. 27 . “I adjure you by the Lord that this Epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.” And this command is rather from love, and not so much in the way of teaching; that with them also, he means, I may be conversing.
