1 Thessalonians 5:10-22

Murdock(i) 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we might live together with him. 11 Therefore comfort one another, and edify one another, as also ye have done. 12 And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye recognize them who labor among you, and who stand before your faces in our Lord, and instruct you : 13 that they may be esteemed by you with abundant love; and, on account of their work, live ye in harmony with them. 14 And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye admonish the faulty, and encourage the faint-hearted, and bear the burdens of the weak, and be long suffering towards all men. 15 And beware, lest any of you return evil for evil, but always follow good deeds, towards one another, and towards all men. 16 And be joyful always. 17 And pray without ceasing. 18 And in every thing be thankful: For this is the pleasure of God in Jesus the Messiah, concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesying. 21 Explore every thing, and hold fast the good: 22 and fly from every thing evil.
