always rejoice ye;

continually pray ye;

in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

The Spirit quench not;

prophesyings despise not;

all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].

Brethren, pray for us;

salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.
