1 Thessalonians 5:18

Twentieth Century New Testament 1904

Under all circumstances give thanks to God. For this is his will for you as made known in Christ Jesus.

See the chapter Copy

Always give thanks for everything to our God and Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.

And, whatever you say or do, do everything in the Name of the Lord Jesus; and through him offer thanksgiving to God the father.

For this is God's purpose--that you should be pure; abstaining from all immorality;

Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God--an offering from lips that glorify his Name.

For God's will is this--that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.

and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God.

And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but he who does God's will remains for ever.
