Rejoice Always Pray Without Ceasing Give Thanks In All Circumstances

The phrase "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances" is a well-known Christian admonition found in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 of the New Testament. This passage encourages believers to maintain a constant attitude of joy, prayer, and gratitude, regardless of their circumstances. The Greek text reads: "πάντOTE χαιρετε, ἀδέσMETE πρὸς προσευχὴν, ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε". In Hebrew, this can be translated as "תמיד שמחו, תמיד תפללו, בכל תודו". Similar translations in other languages include: Latin "semper gaudete, in omni oratione perseverate, gratias agite", and German "freuet euch allezeit, betet ohne Unterlaß, seid dankbar in allen Dingen". This exhortation is part of the Pauline epistles, which are letters written by the Apostle Paul to early Christian communities. The passage emphasizes an unceasing connection with the divine through prayer and gratitude, reflecting a theme of perseverance and faith amid life's challenges. It is often cited in Christian teachings to encourage a positive and prayerful outlook on life.
