11 That's why you must encourage and help each other, just as you are already doing.
12 My friends, we ask you to be thoughtful of your leaders who work hard and tell you how to live for the Lord.
13 Show them great respect and love because of their work. Try to get along with each other.
14 My friends, we beg you to warn anyone who isn't living right. Encourage anyone who feels left out, help all who are weak, and be patient with everyone.
15 Don't be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else.
16 Always be joyful
17 and never stop praying.
