1 Thessalonians 5:12-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And we ask you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, and who preside over you in the Lord, and who admonish you,

13. so that you may consider them with an abundance of charity, for the sake of their work. Be at peace with them.

14. And we ask you, brothers: correct the disruptive, console the weak-minded, support the sick, be patient with everyone.

15. See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone. Instead, always pursue whatever is good, with one another and with all.

16. Rejoice always.

17. Pray without ceasing.

18. Give thanks in everything. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for all of you.

19. Do not choose to extinguish the Spirit.
