This Scripture was from Apostle Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the Church of the Thessalonians (1st Thess. 1:1).

"…Warn them that are unruly…": Sometimes, people who aren't aware of how harsh they're being, need to be told to be kinder to people. If you aren't aware that you need improvement in a specific area, it's very beneficial to be shown how you can improve to further better yourself. 

"…Comfort the feebleminded":

Something as simple as a hug can make such a great difference to someone who's hurt and feels weak. Comfort can come in many different ways—but no matter its form, comfort has life-impacting-power!

"…Support the weak…":

People can be weak where their finances are concerned and be in need of financial support. People can need support in prayer, sin-struggles, health, etcetera. If you see someone weak and in need of support, you, as a Christian, are instructed to support. 

"…Be patient toward all men…": People can really take advantage of others in life. People walk all over people, say they're sorry, then do it again. But we must be patient toward everybody. After all, GOD's been more than patient toward us. How many times have you asked GOD for forgiveness? Imagine if GOD was impatient toward us. Knowing how patient GOD is with us, should make us be more patient with others.
