1 Thessalonians 5:9-28 KJV
[9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
[10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake
or sleep, we should live together with him.
[11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do.
[12] And we beseech you, brethren, to know
them which labour among you, and are over
you in the Lord, and admonish you;
[13] And to esteem them very highly in
love for their work's sake. And be at
peace among yourselves.
[14] Now we exhort you, brethren, warn
them that are unruly, comfort the
feebleminded, support the weak, be patient
toward all men.
[15] See that none render evil for evil
unto any man; but ever follow that which
is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
[16] Rejoice evermore.
[17] Pray without ceasing.
[18] In every thing give thanks: for this
is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
[19] Quench not the Spirit.
[20] Despise not prophesyings.
[21] Prove all things; hold fast that
which is good.
[22] Abstain from all appearance of evil.
[23] And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole
spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
[24] Faithful is he that calleth you,
who also will do it.
[25] Brethren, pray for us.
[26] Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
[27] I charge you by the Lord that this
epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
[28] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
