1 Thessalonians 5:15-23

15Make sure that no one ever pays back one wrong with another wrong. Instead, always try to do what is good for each other and everyone else.

16Always be joyful.

17Never stop praying.

18Whatever happens, give thanks, because it is God’s will in Christ Jesus that you do this.

19Don’t put out the Spirit’s fire.

20Don’t despise what God has revealed.

21Instead, test everything. Hold on to what is good.

22Keep away from every kind of evil.

23May the God who gives peace make you holy in every way. May he keep your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
