16 (A)Rejoice always, 17 (B)pray without ceasing, 18 (C)give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 (D)Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise (E)prophecies, 21 but (F)test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

23 Now may (G)the God of peace himself (H)sanctify you completely, and may your (I)whole (J)spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at (K)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 (L)He who calls you is faithful; (M)he will surely do it.

25 (N)Brothers, pray for us.

26 (O)Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27 I put you under oath before the Lord to have (P)this letter read to all the brothers.

28 (Q)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
