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.

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.
