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 fainthearted, 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

prove all things hold fast that which is good

22

abstain from every form of evil.

23

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24

Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

25

Brethren, pray for us.

26

Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

27

I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren.
