Hebrews 10:24

Encourage Each Other

²³ [So], we should hold on firmly to the profession of our hope [in God], without wavering from it, for God is faithful to His promises. ²⁴ And we should consider how we can stir up one another to love [more] and to perform good deeds. ²⁵ We should not neglect our assembling together [as a church], as some people are in the habit of doing, but we should encourage one another [spiritually], and [do it] all the more [diligently] as you see the day [of judgment] coming closer.
