1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 And we beseech you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and preside over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, comfort the dispirited, assist the sick, be of long suffering towards all men. 15 See that no one renders evil for evil, but always pursue the good both one to another and to all.
16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks on every occasion; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to us. 19 Quench not the Spirit, 20 despise not prophecies. 21 Prove all things, hold fast the good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.
23 And may the God of peace himself purify you wholly, and 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, who will also perform. 25 Brothers, pray for us. 26 Salute all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brothers. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
