1 Thessalonians 5:12-18

New King James Version

Various Exhortations

¹² And we urge you, brethren, ^(A)to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and ^[a]admonish you, ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. ^(B)Be at peace among yourselves.

¹⁴ Now we ^[b]exhort you, brethren, ^(C)warn those who are ^[c]unruly, ^(D)comfort the fainthearted, ^(E)uphold the weak, ^(F)be patient with all. ^15 (G)See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always ^(H)pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

^16 (I)Rejoice always, ^17 (J)pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
