1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 And we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you, and who lead you in Lord, and who admonish you, 13 and to esteem them with exceptional love because of their work. Live peaceably among yourselves. 14 And we encourage you, brothers, admonish the unruly, strengthen the weak-spirited, help the infirmed, be patient toward all. 15 See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all.
16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In everything express thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not disdain prophecies, 21 but examine all things. Hold firm the good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you thoroughly. And may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he who calls you, who also will do it. 25 Brothers, pray about us. 26 Salute all the brothers by a holy kiss. 27 I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the holy brothers. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you. Truly.
