Reading from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 KJV
Twelve Exhortations
Towards the end of this chapter, the Apostle exhorted the Thessalonian brethren with twelve exhortations for their behaviour as disciples of the Lord Iesou, concluding with a benediction for their sanctification and preservation for the day of the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 5:14 - 23 KJV
Now we exhort you, brethren,
- warn them that are unruly
- comfort the feebleminded
- support the weak
- be patient toward all men
- see that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
- rejoice evermore
- pray without ceasing
- in every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you
- quench not the Spirit
- despise not prophesyings
- prove all things; hold fast that which is good
- abstain from all appearance of evil
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
