The Christian Life Simplified

"14 Dear brothers, warn those who are lazy, comfort those who are frightened, take tender care of those who are weak, and be patient with everyone. 15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to everyone else. 16 Always be joyful. 17 Always keep on praying. 18 No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 Living Bible

Warn or admonish those who are lazy or are out of line, or are disorderly, you know the loafers. So people who are disorderly need to be admonished, or rebuked or counseled to get to work and be productive. No comfort here.

Comfort or encourage those who are frightened or timid or fainthearted. This means to soothe, console, or reassure, or give support, confidence, or hope to someone who is showing a lack of courage or confidence.

Take tender care of those who are weak or help and give your support to the weak souls, You know people who are weak in their soul and need to be supported.

Be patient with them all. Whether they are lazy or disorderly, or timid or frightened or weak be patient.

No revenge is allowed! No evil for evil or wrong for wrong instead show kindness and good to others.

Always be joyful which means feeling, expressing, or causing great pleasure and happiness. Be happy in your faith and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually.

Pray without ceasing or always keep on praying. Don't know what to do? Pray, ask God for help always.

No matter what happens, always be thankful. Thank God in everything no matter what the circumstances may be, and give thanks. Quit complaining and be thankful.

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. This is God's will for every person who belongs to Jesus Christ.

There it is in simple and easy to understand words. This is God's will for you. Don't argue with it dismiss it as to simple or say "but you don't understand my problems." Remember the Apostle Paul wrote this inspired by the Holy Spirit, it is the Word of God. My advice is to print this out meditate on it read it daily and allow it to sink into your heart and mind.
