1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 Now we request you, brethren, - to know them who are toiling among you, and presiding over you, in the Lord, and admonishing you; 13 And to hold them in very high esteem, in love, their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves, 14 But we exhort you, brethren - admonish the disorderly, soothe them of little soul, help the weak, be longsuffering towards all: 15 See that none, evil for evil, unto any, do render: but, evermore, what is good, be pursuing, towards one another, and towards all:
16 Evermore, rejoice, 17 Unceasingly, pray, 18 In everything, give thanks, - for, this, is a thing willed of God, in Christ Jesus, towards you: 19 The Spirit, do not quench, 20 Prophesyings, do not despise, 21 But, all things, put to the proof - what is comely, hold ye fast: 22 From every form of wickedness, abstain.
23 But, the God of peace himself, hallow you completely, and, entire, might your spirit, and soul, and body, - so as to be unblameable in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, - be preserved! 24 Faithful, is he that is calling you, - who, also will perform. 25 Brethren! be praying for us also. 26 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27 I adjure you, by the Lord, that the letter be read unto all the brethren! 28 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with you.
