1 Thessalonians

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

Don't quench the Spirit.
