"Therefore
encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Now
we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you
in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold
them in the highest regard in love because of their work.
Live in peace with each other. And
we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid,
help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make
sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong,
but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
Be joyful always; pray
continually; give thanks in all
circumstances, for this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:11-18
