Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Take heed (blepe). Keep an eye on.
Thou hast received in the Lord (parelabev en Kuriw). Second aorist active indicative of paralambanw, the verb used by Paul of getting his message from the Lord (I Corinthians 15:3). Clearly Archippus had a call "in the Lord" as every preacher should have.
That thou fulfil it (ina authn plhroiv). Present active subjunctive of plhrow, "that thou keep on filling it full." It is a life-time job.
