1 Thessalonians 4:1

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Brothers, even if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each of you looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you,

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is only fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another increases all the more,

Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that working with quietness, they eat their own bread.

But as for you, brothers, do not lose heart in doing good.

Sanctification and Love
