16 (A)Rejoice always, 17 (B)pray without ceasing, 18 in everything (C)give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 19 (D)Do not quench the Spirit, 20 do not utterly reject [a](E)prophecies, 21 but (F)examine everything; (G)hold firmly to that which is good, 22 abstain from every [b]form of evil.

23 Now (H)may the God of peace (I)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your (J)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, (K)without blame at (L)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
