1 Thessalonians 5:9-13

For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing. Christian Conduct

But we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who diligently labor among you and are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you instruction,

and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
