Bee at peace among your selues. 14We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are out of order: comfort ye feeble minded: beare with the weake: be pacient toward all men. 15See that none recompense euil for euil vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both toward your selues, and toward all men. 16Reioyce euermore. 17Pray continually. 18In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you. 19Quench not the Spirit. 20Despise not prophecying. 21Try all things, and keepe that which is good. 22Absteine from all appearance of euill. 23Nowe the very God of peace sanctifie you throughout: and I pray God that your whole spirite and soule and body, may be kept blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ. 24Faithfull is hee which calleth you, which will also doe it. 25Brethren, pray for vs. 26Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse. 27I charge you in the Lord, that this Epistle be read vnto all the brethren the Saintes. 28The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen.
