I’ll be honest giving thanks isn’t always easy. We can easily get so focused on ourselves that giving thanks doesn’t seem necessary or important, especially if things aren’t going our way. We need a constant reminder to give thanks in all circumstances. At least I do. Here is a FREE Printable of 1 Thessalonians 5:18!
In 1 Thessalonians, Paul is writing to the people of Thessalonica and could be easily writing to you and me, about the state of the congregation there. The church was still suffering from harassment and hostile factions in the area and Paul lays out God’s instructions for his people so clearly.
Take a few moments before you download the FREE printable, read through the end of chapter 5.
Final Instructions and Benediction
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
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. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Brothers, pray for us.
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
