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.

20. Do not spurn prophecies.

21. But test all things. Hold on to whatever is good.

22. Abstain from every kind of evil.

23. And may the God of peace himself sanctify you through all things, so that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved without blame unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24. He who has called you is faithful. He shall act even now.

25. Brothers, pray for us.

26. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27. I bind you, through the Lord, that this epistle is to be read to all the holy brothers.

28. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
