8. But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9. For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10. who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11. Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.
12. But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13. and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14. And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.
15. See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but alway follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.
16. Rejoice alway;
17. pray without ceasing;
18. in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.
19. Quench not the Spirit;
20. despise not prophesyings;
21. prove all things; hold fast that which is good;
22. abstain from every form of evil.
