1 Thessalonians 5:9-13, 24-28 (Epistle)
- 9
- For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 10
- who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
- 11
- Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
- 12
- And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
- 13
- and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
- 24
- He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
- 25
- Brethren, pray for us.
- 26
- Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
- 27
- I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
- 28
- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
