1 Thessalonians 5:12-22

American Standard Version

¹² But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; ¹³ and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. ¹⁴ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. ¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all. ¹⁶ Rejoice always; ¹⁷ pray without ceasing; ¹⁸ in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. ¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit; ²⁰ despise not prophesyings; ^21 [a]prove all things; hold fast that which is good; ²² abstain from every form of evil.
