1 Thessalonians 5:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ But we belong to the day, so we should ·control ourselves [be sober]. We should ·wear faith and love to protect us [^Lput on the breastplate/body armor of faith and love], and the hope of salvation should be our helmet [Is. 59:17]. ⁹ God did not ·choose [appoint; destine] us ·to suffer his anger [^Lfor wrath] but to ·have [receive; gain; possess] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ ·Jesus [^L…who] died for us so that we can live together with him, whether we are ·alive [^Lawake] or ·dead [^Lasleep] when he comes.
