Scripture connections

Passages readers commonly bring to a story like this, shown with their surrounding context.

1 Thessalonians 5:21

Ethical application · WEB
Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

A reader might connect the command to test all things with the duty to examine claims for military action and the limits placed on political power. The passage encourages careful moral judgment rather than automatic loyalty to either a president or his opponents.

Read the surrounding context (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophesies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

This interpretation is debated. Christians may differ over whether careful testing in this case favors congressional restraint, continued executive military latitude, or another prudential judgment.
