5:16

Rejoice at all times: The command to Rejoice was especially necessary because the Thessalonians were being persecuted and they could easily have become discouraged and unhappy. Paul commanded them to be full of joy, no matter what happened. See also Philippians 4:4.

at all times: This is the word emphasized in this sentence. See the note on 5:15b above. You should emphasize this in your translation in the way that is natural in your language.
