ADMONITION: And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you {practice in front of you} in the Lord, and admonish you” (1Thes 5 : 12) Strongs #3560  “noutheteo to put in mind, to caution or reprove gently: admonish, warn. “ Teachers are not “over” the congregation as the Church practices it, but rather are to be “practicing examples of what they preach. “ Paul said to “…be ye followers of me.” (1 Cor. 4:16) And of course, when we are not following correctly, we need to make CHANGES.  The whole Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures were written and preserved for “ our admonition” (1 Cor 10:11). For our caution against making the same mistakes and sins, and gentle reproving to correct areas of deficiency. …………..The Catholics have their earthly priests to intercede with God on their behalf. How much better to have Jesus Christ, the Only High Priest, Who PLEADS to God for our welfare.
