12 And we ask you please, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 Make sure that no one returns evil for evil to any man, but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice more all the time. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Don't quench the Spirit. 20 Don't despise prophesying. 21 Prove all things, hold tightly what is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-22

King James Version (KJV)



12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit.

20 Despise not prophesyings.

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.


These are my thoughts please share yours.

12 We should repect other Christians' work and help them if we can.

13 We should not cause strife with other believers but show love and encourage them to do the Lord's will.

14 There are some who are idle due to them not knowing what they can do for the Lord, we should help them find what they do and encourage them to follow the path the Lord wants them to follow.

15 The world and satan wants to get even and revenge, we as followers of Christ are to be set apart from this evil for evil. Love is something we should share with all. Not all will accept our love because, not all accept Christ's love.

16 We should give Go praise even during our struggles, this may be hard but, God is still God during our bad times and He deserves our praise. We are made to praise God.

17 We should not stop the communication we have with God, we should continue talking to Him.

18 We should be thankful. All we have was given to us by God. Being thankful is something that believers can only truly know, thru Christ.

19 We should allow the Spirit to use us as we should do the Lord's will.

20 We should hear the truth of the word and live by it.

21 We should not accept lies as truth, we should not live by the lies og this world. The world will live by lies while we are to live on the truth of the gospel.

22 We should stay away from evil things, this will keep us from falling into sin. We are to live by God and do good. We should not live in a way that makes people think we are involved in sin.
