So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. | So then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober. |
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. | Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. |
See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. | See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all. |
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. | Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. |
But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil. | Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil. |
God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. | He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it. |
