A live discussion of the "Day Texts" for Wednesday, December 19, 2018 – 1 Thessalonians 5:12-16 (Greek) from The Great Message translation:

5:12 But we are urging you, brothers, to have an understanding of those among you who are working hard, as well as of those of you who are standing up publicly for the Lord and who are gently reproving you.

5:13 Consider them more than you ever have before, with love, according to their works. You must live in peace with each other.

5:14 Now we beg of you, brothers, gently reprove those who cannot seem to determine anything, cheer up those who are depressed, stick close to those who are weak, wait patiently for all.

5:15 You must take great care, so that no one may pay back evil with evil. Rather, at all times you must chase after what is good for one another, even where it concerns all things.

5:16 Always rejoice!
