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.

²⁵ Brothers and sisters, ^(U)pray for us^[d].

^26 (V)Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss. ²⁷ I put you under oath by the Lord to ^(W)have this letter read to all the ^(X)brothers and sisters.

^28 (Y)May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹¹ For we hear that some among you are ^(A)leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like ^(B)busybodies.
