16 Let joy be your continual feast. j17 Make your life a prayer. 18 And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. k 19 Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. 20 And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, l 21 but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right. m 22 Avoid every appearance of evil.
