9. For God did not destine us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
10. He died for us so that, whether we may be awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
11. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up—just as you in fact are doing.
12. Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who work hard among you and are over you in the Lord and correct you,
13. and to esteem them beyond all measure in love because of their work. Keep shalom among yourselves.
14. We urge you, brothers and sisters, correct the unruly, comfort the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
15. See that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.
16. Rejoice always,
17. pray constantly,
18. in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Messiah Yeshua.
19. Do not quench the Spirit,
20. do not despise prophetic messages,
