PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

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.  Faithful 

is he that calleth you, who also 

will do it.  Brethren, pray for us.

Greet all the brethren with an 

holy kiss.  I charge you by the 

Lord that this epistle be read 

unto all the holy brethren.  The 

grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 

be with you. Amen.

I Thessalonians 5:17-28
