Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Thessalonians 5
⁷ For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.
⁸ But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
⁹ For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
¹² But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction,
¹³ and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
¹⁴ We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
¹⁵ See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
¹⁶ Rejoice always;
¹⁷ pray without ceasing;
