1 Thessalonians 5:10

Compare all

8 But let us who are of the day be sober, ^aputting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

9 For ^aGod did not appoint us to wrath, ^bbut to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 ^awho died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore¹ comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Various Exhortations

12 And we urge you, brethren, ^ato recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and¹ admonish you,

13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. ^aBe at peace among yourselves.

14 Now we¹ exhort you, brethren, ^awarn those who are unruly, ^bcomfort the fainthearted, ^cuphold the weak, ^dbe patient with all.

15 ^aSee that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always ^bpursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

16 ^aRejoice always,

17 ^apray without ceasing,

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

19 ^aDo not quench the Spirit.

20 ^aDo not despise prophecies.

21 ^aTest all things; ^bhold fast what is good.

22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Blessing and Admonition

23 Now may ^athe God of peace Himself ^bsanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body ^cbe preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He who calls you is ^afaithful, who also will ^bdo it.
