⁹^[a]For God has not destined us to suffer wrath, but to achieve salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 These verses provide a summary of the primitive preaching, which was wholly focused on the deliverance of humanity in Jesus Christ and on a life in union with him. Whether we are awake or asleep: i.e., whether we are alive or dead.
