Kehilah In Thessalonika 1 5:13-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

22. Abstain from every appearance of ra'ah (evil).

23. And now Elohei HaShalom wholly set you apart as Kadoshim and may your whole ruach and nefesh and basar be preserved without blame at the Bi'as HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.

24. Ne'eman (Faithful) is the One who summons you to your kri'ah (calling). He will do it.

25. Achim b'Moshiach, offer tefillos also concerning us.

26. Say Drishat Shalom to all the Achim b'Moshiach with a neshikat kedoshah.

27. By Adoneinu, I solemnly give you the directive that this iggeret hakodesh has to be read to all the Achim b'Moshiach.
