52 1 Thess 5.17, pray without ceasing

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 (ESV)

^12  We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

^13  and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

^14  And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

^15  See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.

^16  Rejoice always,

^17  pray without ceasing,

^18  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

^19  Do not quench the Spirit.

^20  Do not despise prophecies,

^21  but test everything; hold fast what is good.

^22  Abstain from every form of evil.

^23  Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

^24  He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

^25  Brothers, pray for us.

^26  Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

^27  I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

^28  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
