11. Therefore, give chozek (strength) and encouragement, building up one another, as indeed you are doing.

12. Now we ask you, Achim b'Moshiach, to have discerning binah (understanding) and discern the ones laboring among you who are your Mashgichim Ruchaniyim (Spiritual Overseers) in Adoneinu. I'm referring to the ones who admonish and warn you.

13. And esteem them most exceedingly in ahavah (agape), because of their avodas kodesh work. Let there be shalom bayis (family peace) also in the kehillah.

14. And we exhort you, Achim b'Moshiach, warn the batlanim (unemployed or lazy loafers, idlers), comfort the congregant who is pachdan (fainthearted), those who are weak take an interest in, have zitzfleisch (patience) with all.

15. See that no one returns ra'ah for ra'ah, but always pursue haTov both for one another and for all.

16. Have simcha always.

17. Daven unceasingly.

18. In everything offer hodayah, for this is the ratzon Hashem in Moshiach Yehoshua for you.

19. Do not quench the Ruach Hakodesh.

20. Do not reject nevu'ot (prophecies).

21. But test kol davar (everything); hold fast to haTov.
