⁸ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, ^(A)having put on the breastplate of ^(B)faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. ⁹ For God has not destined us for ^(C)wrath, but ^(D)to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ^10 (E)who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. ¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

¹³ And Moses said to the people, ^(A)“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For ^(B)the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.

¹⁵ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,^[a] a worker ^(A)who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
