1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 Now we entreat you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 and to account of them very highly in love for their work's sake. And live in peace among yourselves. 14 Now we conjure you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient with all men. 15 See that no man return evil for evil to any man; but always pursue that which is good, both towards one another, and towards all men.
16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-wards. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved faultless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Salute all the brethren with an holy kiss. 27 I conjure you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
