- Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
- So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
- But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
- God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
- See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
- For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.
- For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
- So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
- And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.
- God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
