For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

|
so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

|
|

and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:14
|
We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
|

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.
