¹⁴ We urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish ^(A)the ^[a]unruly, encourage ^(B)the fainthearted, help ^(C)the weak, be ^(D)patient with everyone. ¹⁵ See that ^(E)no one repays another with evil for evil, but always ^(F)seek what is good for one another and for all people. ^16 (G)Rejoice always, ^17 (H)pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ in everything ^(I)give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. ^19 (J)Do not quench the Spirit, ²⁰ do not utterly reject ^[b](K)prophecies, ²¹ but ^(L)examine everything; ^(M)hold firmly to that which is good, ²² abstain from every ^[c]form of evil.

²³ Now ^(N)may the God of peace ^(O)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(P)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, ^(Q)without blame at ^(R)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^24 (S)Faithful is He who ^(T)calls you, and He also will do it.

^6 (A)For the mind ^[a]set on the flesh is ^(B)death, but the mind ^[b]set on the Spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the mind ^[c]set on the flesh is ^(C)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, ⁸ and those who are ^(D)in the flesh cannot please God.

²⁸ And we know that ^[a]God ^[b]causes ^(A)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are ^(B)called according to His purpose. ²⁹ For those whom He ^(C)foreknew, He also ^(D)predestined to become ^(E)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the ^(F)firstborn among many brothers and sisters;
