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.
