[And] be at peace among yourselves. 14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all [men]. 15See that none render evil for evil to any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men]. 16Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19Quench not the spirit. 20Despise not prophesyings. 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it]. 25Brethren, pray for us. 26Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
