8. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet, the hope of saving health.
9. For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain saving health by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10. who died for us, that whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with him.
11. Therefore comfort and edify one another, even as ye do.
12. And we beseech you, brethren, to recognize those who labour among you and preside over you in the Lord and admonish you
13. and that you express greater charity unto them for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14. We also exhort you, brethren, that you warn those that are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with everyone.
15. See that no one renders evil for evil unto anyone, but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves and to all men.
16. Always rejoice.
17. Pray without ceasing.
18. In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19. Quench not the Spirit.
20. Despise not prophecies.
