1 Thessalonians 5:10

The Sudden Arrival Of The Day Of The Lord

⁹ For God did not appoint us to [suffer His] wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ ¹⁰ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep [i.e., alive or dead], we could live together with Him. ¹¹ Therefore, [continue to] encourage one another, and build each other up [spiritually], just as you are also doing.
