帖前5:12-24

5:12 弟兄們，我們勸你們敬重那在你們中間勞苦的人，就是在主裡面治理你們、勸戒你們的；Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.

5:13 又因他們所作的工，用愛心格外尊重他們；你們也要彼此和睦。Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

5:14 我們又勸弟兄們，要警戒不守規矩的人，勉勵灰心的人，扶助軟弱的人，也要向眾人忍耐。And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

5:15 你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不可以惡報惡；或是彼此相待，或是待眾人，常要追求良善。Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

5:16 要常常喜樂，Be joyful always;

5:17 不住地禱告，pray continually

5:18 凡事謝恩，因為這是　神在基督耶穌里向你們所定的旨意。give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

5:19 不要消滅聖靈的感動，Do not put out the Spirit’s fire;

5:20 不要藐視先知的講論。do not treat prophecies with contempt.

5:21 但要凡事察驗，善美的要持守；Test everything. Hold on to the good.

5:22 各樣的惡事要禁戒不作。Avoid every kind of evil.

5:23 願賜平安的　神親自使你們全然成聖。又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守，在我主耶穌基督降臨的時候，完全無可指摘。May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

5:24 那召你們的本是信實的，他必成就這事。The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
