Comments
The Greek word beseech comes from a root word which means 1" to call alongside to help."2This word can also mean to plead.  Paul was speaking as a counselor to his readers pleading with them to do what was requested for them to do which we will find out in the next lesson. He wanted to encourage them. His readers are his brothers and sisters in Christ. 

 Conclusion
The verse could read as follows: I plead with you, therefore, my brothers and sisters in Christ,

If we know something that is very important we too can come along side our brothers and sisters in Christ and encourage them to do what the Bible says to do.
