1 Th 5:12 But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction,
1 Th 5:13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
1 Th 5:14 And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men.
1 Th 5:15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all men.
1 Th 5:16 Rejoice always;
1 Th 5:17 pray without ceasing;
1 Th 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Th 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit;
1 Th 5:20 do not despise prophetic utterances.
1 Th 5:21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
1 Th 5:22 abstain from every form of evil. |
