1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 But we intreat you, brethren, to know those who are laboring among you, and standing before you in the Lord, and admonishing you; 13 and that you yourselves esteem them exceedingly in divine love for the sake of their work. Live in peace among yourselves. 14 And we, exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the small-souled people, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. 15 See that no one may return evil for evil to any one; but always pursue good toward one another, and toward all.
16 Rejoice evermore; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you. 19 Quench not the Spirit; 20 despise not prophesying; 21 but prove all things; and hold fast to the beautiful; 22 abstain from every evil sight.
23 And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is the one calling you, who indeed will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27 I adjure you in the name of the Lord, that this epistle shall be read to all the brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
