9. God didn’t intend for us to suffer his wrath but rather to possess salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10. Jesus died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.
11. So continue encouraging each other and building each other up, just like you are doing already.
12. Brothers and sisters, we ask you to respect those who are working with you, leading you, and instructing you.
