1 Thessalonians 5:15-23

15See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

16Always be joyful.

17Never stop praying.

18Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

19Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.

20Do not scoff at prophecies,

21but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.

22Stay away from every kind of evil.

23Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
