1 Thessalonians 5:19-28

19 1Do not quench the Spirit; 20do not despise 2prophetic 3utterances. 21But 4examine everything carefully; 5hold fast to that which is good; 22abstain from every 6form of evil.

23Now 7may the God of peace 8Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your 9spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, 10without blame at 11the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 12Faithful is He who 13calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

25Brethren, 14pray for us15.

26 16Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27I adjure you by the Lord to 17have this letter read to all the 18brethren.

28 19The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
