6. So, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober.
7. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8. But we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of belief and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance.
9. Because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע Messiah,
10. who died for us, so that we, whether awake or asleep, should live together with Him.
11. Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, as indeed you do.
12. But brothers, we beg you to know those who labour among you, and are over you in the Master and admonish you,
13. and to hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
14. And we appeal to you, brothers, warn those who are disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
15. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
16. Rejoice always,
17. pray without ceasing,
18. in all circumstances give thanks, for this is the desire of Elohim in Messiah יהושע for you.
19. Do not quench the Spirit.
20. Do not despise prophecies,
21. prove them all. Hold fast what is good.
