- Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
- Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
- See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
- Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
- Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.
- For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
- And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you.
- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
- Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
- For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
