1 Thessalonians 5:16-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good;(A) 22 abstain from every form of evil.
23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound[a] and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.(B) 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.(C)
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.(D)
26 Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss. 27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers and sisters.(E)
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.[b]
