1 Thessalonians 5:17-19 Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit (John 17:17-19, Romans 8:17-19 & 12:17-19, Isaiah & Romans 8:13, Nahum & 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians & Hebrews 2:10-11, Micah 7:7, Ephesians 1:3-14 & 2:7-10, Titus 2:11-13, Matthew 24, 1 Timothy & Matthew 6:6-8, Psalm 19 & 68, Micah 6:8).
