1 Thessalonians 5:9-13

New King James Version

⁹ For ^(A)God did not appoint us to wrath, ^(B)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ^10 (C)who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

¹¹ Therefore ^[a]comfort each other and ^[b]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Various Exhortations

¹² And we urge you, brethren, ^(D)to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and ^[c]admonish you, ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. ^(E)Be at peace among yourselves.
