Apostol § 273

1 Thessalonians 5:14–23

Brethren, we exhort you, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves, and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast that what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ...
