1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction

12 And we entreat you, brethren, to respect those that labour among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and instruct you; 13 and to esteem them very highly in love, on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be of a patient spirit towards all. 15 See that no one render evil for evil to any man; but always pursue that which is good, both to each other and to all men.

16 Be always joyful. 17 Pray continually. 18 In every circumstance be thankful; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Slight not prophesyings: 21 yet try all things, and hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly: and grant that your whole frame, spirit, soul, and body may be kept blameless to 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 adjure 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.
