Christian Living

But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, [who] preside over you in [the] Lord and give you instruction 13 In love, hold them vvv in highest {regard} because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

14 

And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, [and] be patient with everyone.

15 

Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what [is] good for one another and for all [people].

16 

Rejoice at all times. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 Give thanks in every circumstance, for this [is] God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

19 

vvv Do not extinguish the Spirit. 20 vvv Do not treat prophecies {with contempt}, 21 but test all things. Hold fast to what [is] good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
