Admonishment and Instruction

12 But we ask of you, brothers, that you (A)know those (B)who labor among you, and (C)lead you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. (D)Live in peace with one another. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish (E)the [a]unruly, encourage (F)the fainthearted, help (G)the weak, be (H)patient with everyone. 15 See that (I)no one repays another with evil for evil, but always (J)seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. 16 (K)Rejoice always; 17 (L)pray without ceasing; 18 in everything (M)give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 (N)Do not quench the Spirit; 20 do not despise (O)prophecies, 21 but (P)examine all things; (Q)hold fast to that which is good; 22 abstain from every [b]form of evil.

Final Exhortations, Greetings, and Benediction

12 But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray constantly, 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 prophesying, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good, 22 abstain from every form of evil.
