Instructions

Thessalonians 5;12-28
12 Now we ask you, brothers and
sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the
Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in
love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 And
we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive,
encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make
sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is
good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray
continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do
not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to
what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of
peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body
be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The
one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray
for us. 26 Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss. 27 I
charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and
sisters.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you.
