| So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. |
| Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. | Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
|
| Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. | See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. |
| Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. | Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. |
| But test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. | Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. |
| The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. |
