14 And we exhort you, brothers and sisters:v warn those who are idle,D comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patientw with everyone. 15 See to it that no one repays evil for evilx to anyone,y but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.z 16 Rejoiceaa always, 17 pray constantly, 18 give thanks in everything; for this is God’s willab for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Don’t stifle the Spirit. 20 Don’t despise prophecies, 21 but test all things.ac Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay awayad from every kind of evil.

23 Now may the God of peaceae himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit,af soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the comingag of our Lordah Jesus Christ.ai 24 He who callsaj youak is faithful; he will do it.
