18. Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.
19. Do not stop the work of the Holy Spirit.
20. Do not treat prophecy as if it were not important.
21. But test everything. Keep what is good.
22. And stay away from everything that is evil.
23. We pray that God himself, the God of peace, will make you pure, belonging only to him. We pray that your whole self—spirit, soul, and body—will be kept safe and be without wrong when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
