1 Thessalonians 5:16–19

¹²Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

⁴Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

¹⁰As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

²⁰Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

¹²Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

²Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

¹AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

³⁶Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

⁷But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

²⁰Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

¹⁷And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

²¹And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

²That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

¹I WILL bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁷And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

⁵¹¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁶Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

¹⁴Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

¹⁰¶ But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

³⁰Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

³And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

³⁰If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

¹⁶Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

⁷Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

⁴And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
