1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

Wycliffe Bible

¹² And, brethren, we pray you, that ye know them that travail among you, and be sovereigns to you in the Lord, and teach you [that ye know them that travail among you, and be before to you in the Lord, and admonish, or teach, you],

¹³ that ye have them more abundantly in charity; and for the work of them, have ye peace with them.

¹⁴ And, brethren, we pray you, reprove unpeaceable men [reprove ye, or chastise, unquiet men]. Comfort ye men of little heart, receive ye frail men [receive ye sick men], be ye patient to all men.

¹⁵ See ye, that no man yield evil for evil to any man; but evermore follow ye that that is good, each to other and to all men [but evermore follow ye that that is good, together and into all men].

¹⁶ Evermore joy ye;

¹⁷ without ceasing pray ye;

¹⁸ in all things do ye thankings. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, in all you.

¹⁹ Do not ye quench the Spirit,

²⁰ do not ye despise prophecies.

²¹ But prove ye all things, and hold ye that thing that is good. [But prove ye all things, hold ye that thing that is good.]

²² Abstain you from all evil species. [Abstain ye you from all evil species, or likeness.]

²³ And God himself of peace make you holy by all things, that your spirit be kept whole, and soul, and body, without plaint, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁴ God is true, that called you, which also shall do [work of grace in you].

²⁵ Brethren, pray ye for us.

²⁶ Greet ye well all brethren in holy kiss.

²⁷ I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all holy brethren.

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
