1 Thessalonians 5:5-16
-
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
-
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
-
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
-
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
-
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
-
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
-
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
-
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
-
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
-
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
-
16 Rejoice evermore.
