1 Thessalonians 5:11-15

11Therefore 1encourage one another and 2build up one another, just as you also are doing.

12But we request of you, brethren, that you 3 4appreciate those 5who diligently labor among you, and 6have charge over you in the Lord and give you 7instruction, 13and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. 8Live in peace with one another. 14We urge you, brethren, admonish 9the 10unruly, encourage 11the fainthearted, help 12the weak, be 13patient with everyone. 15See that 14no one repays another with evil for evil, but always 15seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
