1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - Final Exhortations And Benediction
12 And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, 13 and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves; 14 and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; 15 see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;
16 always rejoice ye; 17 continually pray ye; 18 in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. 19 The Spirit quench not; 20 prophesyings despise not; 21 all things prove; that which is good hold fast; 22 from all appearance of evil abstain ye;
23 and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; 24 stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us; 26 salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; 27 I charge you by the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren; 28 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen.
