1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 We ask you, brothers, to appreciate those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you. 13 To esteem them very highly in love because of the work they do. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 We ask you brothers to warn the unruly and comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with all men. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone. But follow that which is good, both among you, and to all men.
16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophesying. 21 Prove all things; hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 May the very God of peace completely sanctify you (make you holy). I pray to God that your entire spiritual being, your mind and body, is preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he who calls you. He will also make it happen. 25 Brothers, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this letter is to be read to all the brothers. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
