1 Thessalonians 5:13

“and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.”

Verse in context — 1 Thessalonians 5

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

Encouragement in faith and hope of Christ’s return.
