6. so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,
7. for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,
8. and we, being of the day--let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet--a hope of salvation,
9. because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10. who did die for us, that whether we wake--whether we sleep--together with him we may live;
11. wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.
12. And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,
13. and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;
14. and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feebleminded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;
15. see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;
16. always rejoice ye;
17. continually pray ye;
18. in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
19. The Spirit quench not;
20. prophesyings despise not;
21. all things prove; that which is good hold fast;
22. from all appearance of evil abstain ye;
23. and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;
