1 Thessalonians 5:12-22

12Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

13and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

14And we exhort you, brothers and sisters: warn those who are idle, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

15See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

16Rejoice always,

17pray constantly,

18give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

19Don’t stifle the Spirit.

20Don’t despise prophecies,

21but test all things. Hold on to what is good.

22Stay away from every kind of evil.
