New Testament

1 Thessalonians 5:10-24 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11. Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

12. But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

13. and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

14. And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.

15. See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

16. Rejoice always;

17. pray without ceasing;

18. in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

19. Quench not the Spirit;

20. despise not prophesyings;

21. prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

22. abstain from every form of evil.

23. And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24. Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.
