Be at peace among yourselves. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Have joy at all times. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Keep on with your prayers. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Do not put out the light of the Spirit; <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Do not make little of the words of the prophets; <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Let all things be tested; keep to what is good; <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Keep from every form of evil. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Give all the brothers a holy kiss. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n
