Bible Quote May 8th 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

It is thought this first epistle to Thessalonians was written by Paul from Corinth in 52, following Timothy's visit there. It seems to be before Paul has finished formalising his thoughts on several issues which he covers in later letters, like justification by faith, or Jewish and Gentile relations. But then this letter is some eighteen years before the fall of the temple, after which persecution of Christians was more of an issue.

The first eleven verses to this chapter may have been inserted later to clarify thoughts on the second coming. These verses are part of Paul's final instructions.
