12 We ask you, brothers, ^mto respect those who labor among you and ⁿare over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. ^oBe at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish ^pthe idle,^{1 q}encourage the fainthearted, ^rhelp the weak, ^sbe patient with them all. 15 See that ^tno one repays anyone evil for evil, but always ^useek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 ^vRejoice always, 17 ^wpray without ceasing, 18 ^xgive thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 ^yDo not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise ^zprophecies, 21 but ^atest everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

23 Now may ^bthe God of peace himself ^csanctify you completely, and may your ^dwhole ^espirit and soul and body be kept blameless at ^fthe coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 ^gHe who calls you is faithful; ^hhe will surely do it.
