1 Thessalonians 5:15

όράτε praes. imper. act. от όράω (G3708) видеть, призреть. Сочетание форм 2 и 3 лица в этом обороте передает идею, что за поведение отдельного человека несет ответственность вся группа. Они должны не только воздержаться от воздаяния злом за зло, но и следить за тем, чтобы никто из них так не поступал (Morris; Frame),
μή (G3361) чтобы, чтобы не. Отрицание используется для передачи опасения, a conj. указывает, что ситуация, которой опасаются, все-таки зависит от воли человека (BD, 188; МТ, 98).
άντ (G473) с gen. вместо, в ответ на.
άποδώ aor. conj. act. от αποδίδωμι (G591) отдавать, отплачивать,
πάντοτε (G3842) всегда,
διώκετε praes. imper. act. от διώκω (G1377) охотиться, гнать, преследовать (Best).
