For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

But you, brothers, are not in the dark, so that this day would overtake you like a thief.

1 Thessalonians 5 : 12 (HCSB)

Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

1 Thessalonians 5 : 13 (HCSB)

and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

1 Thessalonians 5 : 14 (HCSB)

And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are lazy, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
