11 Kaya nga patatagin ninyo at palakasin ang loob ng bawat isa tulad ng ginagawa na ninyo.
Mga Huling Tagubilin at Pagbati
12 Hinihiling namin, mga kapatid, na igalang ninyo ang mga pinuno ninyong nagpapakahirap sa pamamahala at pangangaral sa inyo alang-alang sa Panginoon. 13 Pag-ukulan ninyo sila ng angkop na paggalang at pag-ibig dahil sa kanilang gawain. Mamuhay kayo nang mapayapa sa bawat isa. 14 Pinapakiusapan din namin kayo, mga kapatid, na paalalahanan ang mga tamad, palakasin ang mga mahihinang-loob, tulungan ang mga mahihina. Maging matiyaga kayo sa kanilang lahat. 15 Tiyakin ninyo na walang sinuman ang naghihiganti sa gumawa sa inyo ng masama; sa halip, gawin ninyo ang para sa kabutihan ng bawat isa at ng lahat. 16 Magalak kayong lagi. 17 Lagi kayong manalangin. 18 Ipagpasalamat ninyo sa Diyos ang lahat ng pangyayari, sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng Diyos para sa inyo kay Cristo Jesus.
