1 Thessalonians 5:15-23

15See that 1no one repays another with evil for evil, but always 2seek what is good for one another and for all people. 16 3Rejoice always, 17 4pray without ceasing, 18in everything 5give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 19 6Do not quench the Spirit, 20do not utterly reject 7 8prophecies, 21but 9examine everything; 10hold firmly 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 kept complete, 15without blame at 16the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
