1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 Now we beseech you, brethren, to have regard for those who labor among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you, 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 We exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, earnestly care for the weak-minded, be of a long-suffering disposition toward all. 15 See that no one render evil for evil to any, but always pursue that which is good toward one another and toward all.
16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from every appearance of evil.
23 Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calls you; and he will do what he has promised. 25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27 I adjure you by the Lord, that this letter be read to all the holy brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
