1 Thessalonians 5:15-23

15See that 1no one repays another with evil for evil, but always 2seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. 16 3Rejoice always; 17 4pray without ceasing; 18in everything 5give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 6Do not quench the Spirit; 20do not despise 7prophetic 8utterances. 21But 9examine everything carefully; 10hold fast to that which is good; 22abstain from every 11form of evil.

23Now 12may the God of peace 13Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your 14spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, 15without blame at 16the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
