13. Esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14. Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, and be patient toward everyone.
15. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone. But always seek to do good to one another and to all.
16. Rejoice always.
17. Pray without ceasing.
18. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19. Do not quench the Spirit.
20. Do not despise prophecies.
21. Examine all things. Firmly hold onto what is good.
22. Abstain from all appearances of evil.
23. May the very God of peace sanctify you completely. And I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24. Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.
