Verse Takeaways

A Positive Provocation

The word "provoke" here can be surprising. Scholars explain that the original Greek word, "paroxusmos," means to incite or stimulate, not to irritate. The author uses this strong term to call believers to passionately and intentionally stir one another up toward greater love and more good works, creating a healthy "paroxysm" or excitement for godly living.
