1 Thessalonians 5:22 presents itself as a passage that has led to the misapplication of its meaning and meaning. Furthermore, the translation of the King James passage had led many to misrepresent its meaning and significance. In the King James Version the verse states, “Abstain from every appearance of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:22, KJV). We can already attest to the difference with the English Standard Version, “Abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thess 5:22, ESV) If we carefully examine these two verses, we see a stark contrast between the words “form” and “appearance ”. However, if the examination stopped there and we examined the Greek for the correct definition of words by shape or appearance, we would show a lower than average judgment. This be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we exhort you, brothers, to admonish the idle, to encourage the faint-hearted, to help the weak, to be patient with everyone. 15 See to it that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise the prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil (1 Thess 5:12-22, Also, “And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of iniquity'” (Matthew 7:23, ESV). This verse always forces a Christian to think twice. However, Kaiser and Silva very wisely inform us to understand the correct context and meaning. Treating verse 22 as standalone would significantly alter its intended meaning and furthermore its imposing meaning that all Christians must withdraw from the world. However, this would seem to contradict Jesus' statement that we are the light of the world. Furthermore, we must pay attention to the jokes about Bible verses, even the altruistic ones, that we are peppered with on social media
