Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - Wherefore; because, whether alive or dead, you will equally share in the blessings of the advent. Comfort yourselves together. The words refer back to the last verse of the preceding chapter (1 Thessalonians 4:18), and with them the apostle concludes his consolatory address to those who were mourning over the loss of their friends. And edify one another; or, build up. It was a favorite figure of the apostle to compare the Christian Church and each individual believer to a building.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Comfort.--Rightly translated. St. Paul is here catching up once more the thought of 1Thessalonians 4:18. They are to comfort one another about their communion with the dead who live in Christ; but perhaps the word also involves the comfort to be imparted by the thought of predestination to earn salvation. The command to "Edify one another" certainly refers to the instruction given in 1Thessalonians 5:1-10 :" Build one another up "in these settled purposes of holy living. This metaphor of building is one which St. Paul uses frequently in his later writings, and which St. Peter (who uses the same) may have adopted from his brother Apostle. St. Paul considers not only the whole Catholic Church to be a great Temple of the Spirit, the stones of which are individual souls (1Peter 2:5; 1Corinthians 3:16), but each believer is a temple too, complete in himself, or, rather, in continual process of completion (1Corinthians 6:19).
