* And we request of you , brothers , to recognize those who labor among you , and are over you in the Lord and instruct you , * and to regard them beyond all measure in love , because of their work . Be at peace among yourselves . * Now we exhort you , brothers , admonish the disorderly , encourage the discouraged , be supportive of the weak , be patient toward all . * See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone , but always pursue that which is good , both for one another and for all . * Rejoice always ! * Pray without ceasing ! * In everything give thanks ; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you . * Do not quench the Spirit . * Do not despise prophecies . * But test all things ; hold fast that which is good . * Abstain from every form of evil . * Now [may ] the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely ; and may your whole spirit , soul , and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ . * He who calls you is faithful , who also will do [this ]. * Brothers , pray for us . * Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss . * I adjure you by the Lord [for ] this letter to be read to all the holy brothers . * The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you . Amen .
