1 Thessalonians 5:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

12 But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.

13 In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

14 And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.

15 Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.
